SwarmBench is a new benchmark designed to evaluate large language models (LLMs) as orchestrators of agent swarms, assessing accuracy, efficiency, cost, and process quality. The study finds significant variations in orchestration performance among current models, affecting not only final outcomes but also the quality of the orchestration process itself. To address these gaps, the authors introduce SwarmExp, a method that uses experience extraction and replay to consistently enhance LLM orchestration performance.

EvoSteer introduces an online self‑evolving graph orchestration framework that continuously builds and repairs a team of tool‑using agents during execution. It employs Anchored Trajectory Balance (AnchorTB), a regression‑style loss that assigns credit to each orchestration action by comparing subtrajectories to a frozen reference, and Validated Skill Admission, which tests candidate skills before promotion. Experiments on twelve datasets demonstrate that EvoSteer outperforms existing baselines in question answering, mathematical reasoning, code generation, and interactive decision making.

arXiv:2601. 10560v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multi-agent systems (MAS) coordinate multiple LLM-powered agents through structured workflows, gaining reasoning power but incurring high inference latency from multi-step execution and repeated model invocations.

UnifiedPlayers is a cooperative framework that jointly adapts planning, execution, and evaluation for tool-integrated reinforcement learning agents. It consists of a Planning Player that generates tasks, an Execution Player that creates multi-turn trajectories with Python tool calls, and an Evaluation Player that builds executable verifiers, all coordinated by role‑specific rewards under GRPO. The approach outperforms prior baselines on mathematical and general reasoning benchmarks and yields a verifier with high adversarial detection accuracy and more discriminative reward signals.

Test-time scaling has become a major way to improve large language model reasoning, but its orchestration has remained designer-engineered: a fixed sample budget, a fixed refinement loop, a fixed scoring rule, or a fixed search policy decides how compute is spent, leaving the model in charge of solving but not of orchestration. We introduce ATLAS, an agentic test-time scaling framework in which an LLM orchestrator owns the control loop end-to-end.
