Discovering Adaptive Transmission Programs for Collective Innovation

The paper presents a method for designing state‑aware transmission protocols that guide how information and resources are shared among agents in a collective discovery task. Using LLM‑guided evolutionary search, the authors evolve protocols that outperform existing baselines by up to 37%, and show that the advantage stems from conditioning on content and agent states rather than just network topology. The evolved protocols also generalize across different domains and agent populations, indicating that such protocols can be discovered in silico and may inform AI‑assisted coordination systems for human collective intelligence.

Scaling Behavior of Single LLM-Driven Multi-Agent Systems

arXiv:2606. 00655v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The burgeoning field of LLM-based Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) promises to tackle complex tasks through collaborative intelligence, yet fundamental questions regarding their scaling behavior and intrinsic collective dynamics remain underexplored.

SwarmWorld: Stigmergic technological evolution in societies of language-model agents

SwarmWorld demonstrates that homogeneous language‑model agents can self‑organize into evolving technological societies without assigned roles or direct communication. In a spatial environment, agents explore, process resources, construct artifacts, and write executable controllers that are later evaluated by a deterministic simulator. The resulting societies develop broader, more resilient technological portfolios than isolated search, with agents differentiating into exploration, construction, maintenance, and coordination roles as the world matures.
