The paper introduces ORCH, a method that applies human organizational theory to create task‑specific hierarchical structures for large, heterogeneous embodied AI teams. Using ORCH, teams of up to 50 agents across 25 wildfire‑response missions outperformed four existing multi‑agent frameworks, achieving higher mission scores and greater execution efficiency. Both human‑designed and language‑model‑generated ORCH organizations improved performance, with hierarchical organization preserving concurrent activity while coordinating ordered transitions between mission phases.

AeroWeaver is a new embodied‑agent harness that integrates large language model (LLM) decision making with the executable skills of individual UAVs, enabling distributed, adaptive swarm execution. It connects semantic mission decisions to governed skills, organizes role‑conditioned local agents for coordination, and refines skill selection online using role‑indexed state‑action‑reward experience. Experiments demonstrate that AeroWeaver maintains valid skill execution without a central joint‑action generator and supports reward‑guided, training‑free adaptive learning from accumulated execution experience.

Collective intelligence is a collaborative autonomy paradigm in which multiple agents pursue shared objectives through local perception, information exchange, and coordinated action. UAV swarms embody...
Agensh is a new multi‑agent harness that eliminates a central orchestrator by letting workers self‑organize through a continuous cooperation loop. The system uses a shared workspace, message interface, and shared context to coordinate tasks, verify results, and merge progress asynchronously. Experiments on ProgramBench and pandoc show that scaling from 1 to 1,024 agents improves test‑pass rates by up to 49% relative, demonstrating that agent count is a viable scaling dimension for complex tasks.

arXiv:2607. 25446v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-agent frameworks built on large language models (LLMs) routinely entangle three logically distinct concerns: who is on the team (organization), how members align (coordination), and which algorithm fuses their work (collaboration protocol).

SwarmWorld demonstrates that homogeneous language‑model agents can self‑organize into evolving technological societies without assigned roles or direct communication. In a spatial environment, agents explore, process resources, construct artifacts, and write executable controllers that are later evaluated by a deterministic simulator. The resulting societies develop broader, more resilient technological portfolios than isolated search, with agents differentiating into exploration, construction, maintenance, and coordination roles as the world matures.

Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly evaluated on their ability to use tools, plan multi-step tasks, coordinate with other agents, and operate over extended horizons. Reported benchmark gains often obscure recurring failure modes documented across otherwise unrelated evaluation efforts.
arXiv:2606. 01199v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language agents are increasingly used for social simulation, yet it remains unclear whether they can sustain coherent behavior in structured organizations, where goals must propagate through hierarchy, tasks depend on prior execution, and artifacts accumulate over long horizons.
