CollabFlow introduces a recursive self‑improvement framework for multi‑agent collaboration in large language model systems. It trains a Collab‑Director to assemble teams of agents, uses a frozen executor to run them, and retrains the director each round based on outcomes. The system incorporates evidence‑conditioned communication protocols within collaboration graphs and a Collaborative Trajectory Balance objective to maintain diverse high‑performing teams across rounds, achieving superior performance on twelve datasets.

OpenMAS-GCom is a diagnostic benchmark designed to isolate the impact of communication structures, role assignments, and information flows in graph‑enhanced multi‑agent systems (G‑MAS). It evaluates systems by systematically modifying one component—such as rewiring communication edges, removing specialist or critic agents, or corrupting intermediate messages—while keeping tasks, models, prompts, and budget limits constant. The benchmark tests 17 configurations across 29 datasets in six domains, including 400 new G‑MAS‑Complex tasks that require agents to combine and reconcile information from multiple documents.

The paper investigates how coordination among AI agents serving different users degrades performance compared to a single coordinating agent. Across five advanced models and 77 scenarios in four shared-resource environments—API key budgets, clinic calendars, personal assistant bookings, and merge queues—the study finds that multi‑agent teams consistently underperform, sometimes collapsing entirely, and that even with communication channels coordination overhead remains significant. The authors identify specific failure modes such as stalling, action overriding, and claim fabrication, and propose environment‑specific mitigations like team leads and procedural instructions, while releasing the MAMUBench benchmark for future research.

arXiv:2607. 05775v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly evaluated on their ability to use tools, plan multi-step tasks, coordinate with other agents, and operate over extended horizons.

MOSAIC is an open‑source platform that allows agents from different decision‑making paradigms—such as reinforcement learning policies, large language models, vision‑language models, and human operators—to operate together in shared reinforcement learning environments. It achieves this through an IPC‑based worker protocol that isolates each agent’s training and inference logic, an operator abstraction that maps any agent to a minimal universal interface, and a deterministic evaluation framework offering both manual lock‑step and automated script modes for reproducible experiments.
