Latent communication in large language model (LLM)-based multi-agent systems (MAS) transmits continuous internal representations instead of text, but greater representational capacity does not establish that the receiver uses task-relevant information. End-task performance alone also cannot reveal whether an observed effect depends on message presence, content generated for the evaluated example, or information supplied by a separate agent.

arXiv:2607. 03598v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: When a person shares something with a language model, the model often answers the surface of the message rather than what the sender was doing by sending it: share a finished project and it critiques the code; share a raw late-night line and it runs a wellness check.
