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.

Evaluating reasoning quality in multi-agent LLM systems is challenging, especially for open-ended tasks without reference answers. We investigate whether intrinsic confidence signals, token-level log-probabilities from decoding, can predict reasoning quality as assessed by LLM-as-judge evaluation.
arXiv:2606. 07603v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) exhibit strong reasoning capabilities, yet most LLM-based agents are statically deployed and unable to improve through task interactions.

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.

The paper introduces an adaptive memory and reflection (AMR) multi‑agent system for medical question answering. Each agent has dedicated memory and uses reflection‑based feedback to retrieve relevant prior cases, improving reasoning. The system routes questions through solo, collaborative, or escalated workflows and includes consensus and ethical overseer modules, achieving strong performance on MedQA and MedMCQA datasets.

The paper investigates how agent memory contributes to reliable handling of unanswerable questions (UAQs) within a unified Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) framework. Four memory methods were evaluated across three UAQ datasets and two base models, revealing that memory can improve UAQ performance in selective settings but the gains are fragile under dataset shift. Procedural and rule-based memories, especially when combined with complementary behavioral signals, provide the most reliable support, indicating that effective UAQ memory relies more on transferable behavioral guidance than on sheer volume of stored experience.
