arXiv:2606. 02359v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Despite the remarkable progress of Large Language Model (LLM) based Multi-Agent Systems, most research focuses on optimizing coordination topology while largely underexploring the equally critical problem: how to transmit and optimize messages among agents effectively?
arXiv:2608. 12921v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The performance of large language model (LLM)-based multi-agent systems (MAS) largely depends on effective communication topologies.
arXiv:2606. 05158v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-agent reasoning systems adopt a "generate-then-transfer" paradigm that forces end-to-end latency to scale linearly with pipeline depth.
arXiv:2609.05774v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent multi-agent LLM systems increasingly rely on graph-structured communication to coordinate specialized agents. We revisit multi-agent orchestrati...
arXiv:2510. 13903v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Chain-of-thought prompting has popularized step-by-step reasoning in large language models, yet model performance still degrades as problem complexity and context length grow.
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 control‑data flow separation to improve prompt optimization in multi‑agent large language model systems. By representing execution protocols as typed, validated program objects and keeping task‑relevant content as unstructured language, the method prevents prompt edits from corrupting critical routing, formatting, or termination signals. Experiments on synthetic reasoning, collaborative review generation, and insurance rating workflows show that this approach maintains 100% protocol validity while consistently enhancing task performance.
arXiv:2511. 19969v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent advancements in multi-modal retrieval-augmented generation (mRAG), which enhance multi-modal large language models (MLLMs) with external knowledge, have demonstrated that the collective intelligence of multiple agents can significantly outperform a single model through effective communication.
arXiv:2606. 19135v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As large language models (LLMs) advance and multi-agent systems aim to overcome the limits of standalone agents, robust communication protocols are becoming essential infrastructure for distributed agent networks.
The paper investigates whether complex communication topologies are necessary for effective multi‑agent debate (MAD) among large language models. It demonstrates that a simple random-without-replacement routing policy—where each agent debates with two newly sampled peers each round—consistently improves the accuracy‑cost trade‑off in sparse MAD setups. Additionally, the study shows that lightweight deliberation stopping can further reduce inference costs without sacrificing accuracy.
The paper introduces Epistemic Probabilistic Language Agents (EPLA), a neuro‑symbolic architecture designed to enable coordination among multi‑agent large language models (LLMs) under uncertainty. EPLA employs a Symbolic Guard that provides structured diagnostic feedback, allowing the LLM to generate typed actions while the Guard controls their execution against an authoritative symbolic state. The authors formalize an epistemic layer using gossip testbeds and epistemic lottery gossip models, combining view‑based call histories with agent‑indexed probability weights to address gaps in social behavior and coordination mechanisms for agentic LLMs.
Multi-agent debate (MAD) has emerged as a promising paradigm for improving the reasoning accuracy of large language models (LLMs) through iterative peer interaction. Communication topology plays a cen...
BusMA introduces a bus-based communication substrate for multi‑agent systems, enabling any agent to address others through a shared channel. The framework includes agent registration, message routing, and shared memory management, and defines four communication intents—discussion, challenge, guidance, and request for explanation—to facilitate fine‑grained interaction. Experiments with two leading LLMs on 13 tasks in visual reasoning, mathematical reasoning, and knowledge retrieval show that BusMA consistently outperforms existing hierarchical manager‑worker and router‑based message passing methods.
