CONCAT: Consensus- and Confidence-Driven Ad Hoc Teaming for Efficient LLM-Based Multi-Agent Systems

CONCAT is a training‑free framework that improves the efficiency of large language model (LLM) based multi‑agent systems by clustering agents according to their initial answers and selecting cluster leaders based on confidence. It uses a Theory‑of‑Mind‑inspired heuristic to predict collaboration benefits between leaders, then prunes communications to form an ad‑hoc network that reduces latency. Experiments on three LLMs and benchmarks show up to 2.02× higher accuracy/latency ratio than LLM‑Debate and a 50.1% latency reduction on Qwen2.5‑14B‑Instruct without task‑specific training.

When Is Smaller Greener? Right-Sizing Language Models for Agentic AI

The paper investigates how to choose the size of a language model for AI agents to balance reliability, energy, cost, and time. By treating model selection as a multi‑criteria decision problem, the authors derive task‑length thresholds—crossover points—where a smaller model becomes more efficient than a larger one, based on per‑step reliability and resource use. Experiments with 15 open‑weight models on synthetic tasks confirm that these predicted crossovers match observed data for most cases, showing that smaller models are greener only up to a predictable task length.

GRASP: Generating, Revising, and Assessing for Strategic Planning with Agentic AI

GRASP is a multi-stage planning framework that separates planning into specialized modules: GenPlan for global macro-guidelines, RevPlan for exploring localized strategies, and VerPlan for multi-criteria evaluation. This strategy-aware approach yields state‑of‑the‑art accuracy on diverse datasets, outperforming direct LLM planners by up to 30.8% on ZebraLogic and reducing multi‑task degradation. GRASP’s context isolation and macro‑regularization also give it a 14.5% edge over frontier reasoning models like GPT‑5‑mini.

RideWay: Benchmarking Efficient Task Completion for Tool-Using Language Agents

RideWay is a new benchmark that evaluates ride‑hailing language agents not just on task completion but on interaction efficiency. It introduces the Efficiency Utility metric, which penalizes agents for excessive tool calls and user‑facing turns relative to a task‑specific reference effort, with human preferences used to calibrate the penalties. Across 58 tasks and 24 models, the metric shows that extra dialogue is penalized more heavily than extra tool use, and it achieves high accuracy in distinguishing trajectories that differ in turns but struggles when differences are only in tool calls.
