arXiv:2510. 15416v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We investigate a framework in which LoRA adapters are treated as callable tools that a base language model can dynamically select and invoke.

The paper proposes a new framework for collaboration between a small language model (SLM) and a large language model (LLM) that treats the interaction as an information acquisition problem under an API budget constraint. Instead of delegating reasoning tasks, the SLM remains the primary reasoner and selectively queries the LLM advisor with targeted questions, using a three-stage RLVR approach to decide when to call the advisor, how to phrase queries, and how to integrate the responses. Experiments on mathematical reasoning and coding tasks show that this strategy improves the performance–cost tradeoff compared to existing baselines and can transfer to other advisor model families without additional training.

arXiv:2606. 09730v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models are increasingly expected to handle complex, long-horizon real-world tasks whose context demands can grow without bound, yet model context windows remain inherently finite.

The paper introduces InFlowOp, a label‑free optimization framework that assigns costs to each decision in a multi‑agent workflow, balancing agent competence against execution time. It determines task granularity and agent assignment before execution and corrects faults during execution using the same cost metric. The authors also present Braid, a benchmark for multi‑agent coordination, and show that InFlowOp outperforms single‑agent baselines by up to 11.97% across various domains.

arXiv:2608. 14613v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern LLM-agent frameworks increasingly interoperate through standards such as Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP) for agent-to-tool access and Google's Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol for agent delegation and negotiation.
