When Agents Coordinate: Measuring Coordination in Multi-Agent AI Coding
arXiv:2608. 16801v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study how teams of AI coding agents coordinate while solving programming tasks.
Agensh is a new multi‑agent harness that eliminates a central orchestrator by letting workers self‑organize through a continuous cooperation loop. The system uses a shared workspace, message interface, and shared context to coordinate tasks, verify results, and merge progress asynchronously. Experiments on ProgramBench and pandoc show that scaling from 1 to 1,024 agents improves test‑pass rates by up to 49% relative, demonstrating that agent count is a viable scaling dimension for complex tasks.

arXiv:2606. 00655v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The burgeoning field of LLM-based Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) promises to tackle complex tasks through collaborative intelligence, yet fundamental questions regarding their scaling behavior and intrinsic collective dynamics remain underexplored.
arXiv:2606. 31174v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Production large language-model (LLM) agents are increasingly deployed not as lone problem-solvers but as managers: a main model creates specialized subagents, delegates work, and orchestrates their parallel, asynchronous returns through dynamic workflows.
The paper introduces TOCOMAS, a Topology‑Coherent Multi‑Agent System that enforces topological coherence—consistent responsibility, handoff, and memory boundaries—within self‑evolving multi‑agent systems. TOCOMAS grounds task graphs in tool interfaces, groups compatible task nodes into reusable responsibility domains, and derives collaboration and memory visibility rules that respect task dependencies. In experiments on BBEH, WorkBench, SWE‑Bench‑Verified, and CoMemBench, TOCOMAS outperforms baseline methods in task success, verified progress, handoffs, and memory isolation.

The paper introduces ORCH, a method that applies human organizational theory to create task‑specific hierarchical structures for large, heterogeneous embodied AI teams. Using ORCH, teams of up to 50 agents across 25 wildfire‑response missions outperformed four existing multi‑agent frameworks, achieving higher mission scores and greater execution efficiency. Both human‑designed and language‑model‑generated ORCH organizations improved performance, with hierarchical organization preserving concurrent activity while coordinating ordered transitions between mission phases.

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.
