RELIC: Revealed Principles for Learning Interpretable Composable Skills in Multi-Agent Planning

arXiv:2607. 16745v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-agent planning becomes substantially harder when agents must improve specialized decision-making skills while keeping their internal implementations private.

Communication-Enhanced Tutoring for Efficient Decentralized Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2508. 13661v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Centralized Training with Decentralized Execution (CTDE) is the dominant paradigm in multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL), enabling agents to act independently at test time while leveraging additional information during training.

Federated Agent Optimization

The paper introduces Federated Agent Optimization (FAO), a framework for enabling large language model agents to improve collaboratively while keeping raw data, trajectories, and private knowledge local. FAO treats agent capabilities—such as memory, tools, rewards, skills, and structured knowledge—as a multi‑objective optimization space that balances utility, privacy leakage, and communication cost. It outlines methods for abstracting, protecting, aggregating, and adapting private experience into transferable capabilities, and highlights key challenges and future research directions for trustworthy federated agent systems.

Strategy-Following Multi-Agent Deep Reinforcement Learning Considering Control Strategies Provided to Other Agents

arXiv:2607. 18719v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This study proposes a learning method for multi-agent systems that allows agents to be controlled through human manager instructions after learning and enables uninstructed agents to implicitly complement the overall work based on the actions of other agents.

AgentLeak: Cloning Stronger LLM Agent Capabilities onto Weaker Agents Beyond Skill Stealing

The paper introduces AgentLeak, a black‑box attack that clones the task‑solving capabilities of a strong LLM agent onto a weaker one by exploiting differences between successful and failed executions. Unlike prior skill‑stealing methods that only recover explicit skill artifacts, AgentLeak identifies and incorporates missing procedural behaviors, boosting task pass rates by over 40% and closing more than 80% of the capability gap across 20 scenarios. The study demonstrates that observable execution behavior can leak proprietary procedural knowledge, posing a confidentiality risk for LLM agents.

UnifiedPlayers: Enhance Tool-Integrated Reasoning in Agentic Reinforcement Learning

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.
