DIANOIA introduces a diagnostic framework for multi‑agent large language model systems, decomposing reasoning gain into three measurable channels—coverage, fidelity, and synthesis. The protocol identifies bottleneck channels for a given task and implements a corresponding multi‑agent system with role‑diverse proposers, execution‑grounded verification, and iterative synthesis. Experiments on GSM8K, AIME‑2025, MBPP, and BFCL‑SP show that DIANOIA outperforms strong baselines, achieving significant token savings and accuracy gains while accurately pinpointing the critical channels.

The paper demonstrates that test‑time communication among agents can significantly outperform independent parallel attempts on complex tasks. In experiments on the ARC‑AGI‑3 benchmark, a team of $k$ communicating agents matched the success rate of $4k$ independent agents, with the advantage growing as the team size increased. The study also shows that communication enables solving tasks that no single agent can solve, and that these benefits transfer to research‑oriented problems such as polyomino packing and MNIST classifier compression, where communicating agents surpassed prior best scores.
The paper investigates how to choose model pools for Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) that combine multiple model outputs to tackle complex reasoning tasks. It evaluates eight selection strategies—such as model size, accuracy, and answer diversity—across both before-generation (routing) and after-generation (majority-voting, LLM-as-a-judge) MAS architectures on scientific benchmarks. The study finds that expanding the candidate pool often harms performance, that selecting candidates within a single model family yields the best relative gains, and that indiscriminate addition of heterogeneous models can destabilize the system.
arXiv:2607. 10836v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-agent ensembling multiplies active parameters and inference cost without answering three basic questions: which agents to consult, how deeply a query should traverse a hierarchy of agents, and when inter-agent communication is worth its cost.
Two prompts can request the same code change and produce the same correct patch, yet cause a coding agent to perform radically different kinds and amounts of work. We study this effect in a preregistered benchmark spanning 4,644 valid runs, 24 deterministic coding tasks, seven reasoning models, and two real agent harnesses.
arXiv:2607. 13034v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents increasingly automate multi-step engineering and informatics workflows, yet they rarely ask how much effort a task actually requires.
arXiv:2607. 23124v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model agents have advanced rapidly, yet progress remains fragmented across domains, capabilities, task difficulty, and interaction settings.
In cognitive science, resource rationality asks how an agent should allocate limited computation to maximize expected value. Most reasoning and agent benchmarks use independent per-task budgets; exist...
