The paper introduces XKV, a latent protocol that enables efficient communication between heterogeneous language models by translating a sharer's key‑value cache into a receiver's context. XKV overcomes limitations of prior methods by jointly pooling both caches, reconciling differing layer depths, and allowing each receiver position to retrieve its own residual in native KV geometry. Across 45 dataset‑model pairings, XKV outperforms previous protocols and text communication while using fewer parameters and achieving faster translation times.

arXiv:2605. 22863v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: LLM agents today communicate via text, which incurs considerable latency and information loss due to the need to autoregressively decode the sharer model's state and encode at the receiver model.

arXiv:2606. 05304v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-agent systems (MAS) built on large language models are typically organized around roles, pipelines, and turn schedules, while the content that agents pass to one another is often left as unconstrained natural language.

The paper introduces LOHA, a context layout that compresses older tool observations into soft tokens while keeping the agent’s own turns and the last K observations in plain text, and ACD, a training method that distills full‑text predictions into this latent representation while anchoring behavior on plain text. This approach reduces context per call by up to 57% without significant loss in resolve rates, and improves instance throughput in single‑GPU serving. Experiments on SWE‑bench Verified show that K=3 yields a 43–57% compression with only modest performance impact, while larger windows favor task performance over compression.
