DeAR: Decentralized Agentic Reasoning via Capability Grounding and Collaborative Thought Navigation

Read the original on arXiv AI →

DeAR (Decentralized Agentic Reasoning) is a new framework that replaces centralized protocols with autonomous peer‑to‑peer collaboration for agentic reasoning. It introduces three key mechanisms: decentralized capability grounding for agent specialization, thought map navigation for targeted peer interactions, and topology updates for adaptive error correction. Across nine multimodal reasoning and text‑based QA benchmarks, DeAR consistently outperforms recent baseline methods, demonstrating that decentralized and adaptive collaboration improves accuracy in knowledge‑intensive reasoning tasks.

Two Heads are Better Than One: Test-time Scaling of Multi-agent Collaborative Reasoning

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.
