arXiv:2606. 01351v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The transition from single-turn models to Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) promises enhanced problem-solving capabilities, yet the centralized orchestration topology remains a critical point of fragility.

OrchSLM: Probing the Dynamics of Small Language Model Orchestration

OrchSLM is a routing framework that unifies non‑interactive orchestration methods for small language models (SLMs). It allows heterogeneous SLMs to independently generate candidate solutions while a router manages their cached outputs without further model interaction. By systematically probing OrchSLM, the study shows how orchestration behavior depends on task structure, model‑pool composition, and multi‑agent consensus.

Architectural Design, Not Only Model Intelligence, Governs Multi-Agent LLM Performance

The paper argues that the architecture of multi‑agent large language model (LLM) frameworks, rather than just the intelligence of the underlying models, largely determines system performance. It introduces a taxonomy of architectural dimensions—such as orchestration, memory, planning interfaces, specialization, and communication topology—and presents MAFBench, a unified evaluation suite. An empirical study across nine frameworks, keeping the LLM constant, reveals six design principles and shows that choices like orchestration and communication topology can dramatically affect latency, accuracy, and coordination success.

Unified-MAS: Universally Generating Domain-Specific Nodes for Empowering Automatic Multi-Agent Systems

Unified-MAS is a two-stage framework that decouples node implementation from orchestration in Automatic Multi-Agent Systems. It first searches external knowledge to synthesize domain‑specific node blueprints, then uses a perplexity‑guided reward to optimize bottleneck nodes. Experiments across four specialized domains show that adding Unified-MAS to existing baselines improves performance‑cost trade‑offs by up to 14.2% while lowering costs.
