PeakBench is a new benchmark designed to evaluate how large language model agents invoke multiple tools while respecting resource constraints and parallel execution. It provides executable multi‑tool workflows with dependency annotations and measured resource profiles, and introduces a two‑part evaluation framework that separates logical planning from physical scheduling. The study shows that strong logical planning alone does not guarantee safe or efficient execution, and that providing resource information can reduce overflows and improve utilization.

The paper "Can AI Scientists Coordinate at Runtime?" introduces Runtime Agent Coordination (RAC), a system that dynamically selects agents from existing AI‑scientist hosts during execution, assigns scoped work contracts, and provides artifact‑grounded verification. An exploratory evaluation on ResearchClawBench across three hosts—Agent Laboratory, EvoScientist, and ARK—shows that runtime selection improves performance, while adding contracts and verification can reduce scores depending on the host. The study highlights the potential and limitations of runtime coordination under budget constraints.

The paper introduces Software World, a framework that simulates multi‑agent collaboration within realistic software ecosystems. It generates environments of interdependent Python packages and lets agents maintain and improve them, measuring collective speedup in hidden dependent packages. Experiments across three worlds and eight models show that performance improvement scales with inference‑time compute, with the best model boosting downstream efficiency by up to 31%.
