arXiv:2606. 08340v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As language models are increasingly deployed as autonomous agents, they must coordinate with others over long horizons in open-ended interactive tasks.

arXiv:2606. 02641v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Interactive driving exposes a failure mode that is easy to miss in rule-aware autonomous-driving stacks: a hard-rule margin can be negative for an ego candidate even though a small lawful accommodation by a non-priority agent would restore feasibility.

arXiv:2605. 24202v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Multi-agent LLM workflows route inference through specialized roles to lift end-task accuracy, but jointly training those roles with reinforcement learning is unstable in ways that are poorly understood.

arXiv:2607. 24339v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents inherit reactive failure modes: escalation under provocation, sycophantic drift under flattery, perseveration when stuck.

arXiv:2607. 25446v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-agent frameworks built on large language models (LLMs) routinely entangle three logically distinct concerns: who is on the team (organization), how members align (coordination), and which algorithm fuses their work (collaboration protocol).

arXiv:2604. 11840v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Language models are increasingly used to simulate people: survey respondents, negotiators, stakeholders in policy exercises.

arXiv:2601. 17454v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Centralized value learning underlies a broad class of multi-agent reinforcement learning methods, but its claimed advantage is typically evaluated in settings that confound coordination structure with function approximation and partial observability.

arXiv:2608. 01425v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Training LLM-based multi-agent systems with multi-agent reinforcement learning is rapidly gaining traction, and a parallel line of work argues that such systems should be judged by their behavior, not only their reward.

arXiv:2602. 12089v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As AI usage becomes more prevalent in social contexts, understanding agent-user interaction is critical to designing systems that imp rove both individual and group outcomes.

arXiv:2606. 07552v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models exhibit a risk-averse "turtle" bias as strategic agents.

arXiv:2606. 12502v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose that value -- the quantity goal-directed agents create, destroy, and exchange -- is a lawful structural quantity in the same category as information.

arXiv:2606. 00804v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Enterprise multi-agent systems increasingly expose multiple coordination patterns, but deployments often lack evidence for when to use consensus, debate, synthesis, or a simpler single-agent workflow.
