Demystifying Multi-Agent Debate: The Role of Confidence and Diversity

arXiv:2601. 19921v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multi-agent debate (MAD) is widely used to improve large language model (LLM) performance through test-time scaling, yet recent work shows that vanilla MAD often underperforms simple majority vote despite higher computational cost.

MARS: Margin-Adversarial Risk-controlled Stopping for Parallel LLM Test-time Scaling

Parallel test-time scaling samples many reasoning traces and majority-votes their answers, improving LLM accuracy but requiring traces to run to completion, incurring substantial computational overhead. We observe that probing partial traces at intermediate checkpoints can extract current answers without disrupting generation, revealing an evolving aggregate vote.

Budget-Aware Tool Use Enables Effective Agent Scaling

arXiv:2511. 17006v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Scaling test-time computation has been extended from language model reasoning to tool-augmented agents, where scaling involves not only thinking in tokens but also acting via tool calls that directly constrain environmental interaction.
