Adaptive Latent Agentic Reasoning

arXiv:2606. 02871v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large reasoning models improve performance by generating extended chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning, but this behavior becomes inefficient when applied to LLM agents.

Principled Thoughts for Latent Recursive LLM Systems

The paper introduces REST (REpresentation‑Supervised Thoughts), a new training objective for latent recursive language‑model systems that supplements cross‑entropy loss with differentiable penalties enforcing causality, minimality, separability, and stability of internal thought representations. By applying REST to both single‑agent and multi‑agent setups without changing architectures or adding inference parameters, the authors achieve up to 7.5 percentage‑point gains in accuracy across seven diverse benchmarks and a 30 % improvement in convergence to the final answer. The method also yields more informative latent thoughts, improving interpretability of agent communication.

Dual Latent Memory for Visual Multi-agent System

arXiv:2602. 00471v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: While Visual Multi-Agent Systems (VMAS) promise to enhance comprehensive abilities through inter-agent collaboration, empirical evidence reveals a counter-intuitive "scaling wall": increasing agent turns often degrades performance while exponentially inflating token costs.

Two Heads are Better Than One: Test-time Scaling of Multi-agent Collaborative Reasoning

The paper introduces a method to improve test-time scaling (TTS) for large language models by using multi-agent systems (MAS) to split long reasoning chains into manageable contexts. A new dataset, M500, containing 500 multi-agent collaborative reasoning traces, is used to fine‑tune open‑source models, enabling them to learn collaborative patterns and outperform their base versions. An adaptive scaling strategy with a "CEO" agent is proposed to dynamically guide reasoning depth, and experiments in the AgentVerse framework confirm the effectiveness of the approach.
