LLMs have evolved from language generators to autonomous agents capable of complex, long-horizon tasks. This evolution has produced paradigms including Prompt Engineering to elicit model capabilities,...
The paper surveys self‑evolving agents, highlighting that their states—memories, tools, skills, workflows, and inter‑agent relations—are dynamic and can be modeled as evolving graphs. It critiques existing surveys for treating graphs merely as support structures and proposes a framework that views agent evolution as dynamic graph transformation, categorizing methods into node/feature, edge/topology, subgraph activation, and cross‑component co‑evolution. The authors further map dynamic‑graph learning subfields to agent capabilities, discuss potential failure modes, and outline graph‑aware evaluation and governance protocols to guide the design and oversight of self‑evolving agents.

The paper examines when multi‑agent collaboration is beneficial versus single‑agent approaches. It finds that collaboration yields systematic advantages mainly in long‑horizon tasks with sparse dependencies, while single agents perform better in tightly coupled, sequential workflows. The authors introduce SAIGE, a lightweight multi‑agent mechanism that models collaboration as a dynamically evolving graph, and show that it balances context efficiency and task performance without always improving outcomes as more agents are added.

arXiv:2607. 28629v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The rapid transition from reactive large language models (LLMs) to persistent, action-capable systems has exposed critical gaps in the architectural understanding of Agentic AI, particularly in separating inference, orchestration, and execution layers for autonomous AI agents.

The paper examines when multi‑agent collaboration is truly beneficial as large language models grow more capable. It finds that multi‑agent systems yield systematic advantages mainly for long‑horizon tasks with sparse dependencies, while single‑agent approaches excel in tightly coupled, sequential workflows. The authors introduce SAIGE, a lightweight, graph‑based collaboration framework that balances context efficiency and performance, demonstrating that adding more agents or deeper recursion does not always improve outcomes.

The paper introduces Procedural Graphs, a framework that structures procedural knowledge for large language model agents as (procedure, relation, procedure) triplets, analogous to knowledge graphs for factual data. At each decision point, a guidance model uses the local subgraph to bias the agent’s next action, while an LLM refiner self‑evolves the graph by comparing failed and successful trajectories, editing its topology to improve performance. Experiments across various datasets, tasks, and LLMs show that Procedural Graphs consistently outperform memory‑based baselines, and the self‑evolution mechanism further enhances results without manual engineering.

arXiv:2606. 16328v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate remarkable potential in dynamic graph reasoning, but suffer from a scaling bottleneck: current models can only handle graphs with tens of nodes, constrained by exponential reasoning overhead and finite context windows.
