Route, Communicate, and Reason: Gated Routing and Adaptive Depth for Efficient Multi-Agent Reasoning

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2607. 10836v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-agent ensembling multiplies active parameters and inference cost without answering three basic questions: which agents to consult, how deeply a query should traverse a hierarchy of agents, and when inter-agent communication is worth its cost.

Learning What to Retain: Gated-Memory Routing for Efficient Collaboration in Multi-Agent LLM Systems

The paper introduces Gated-Memory Routing, a method for efficient collaboration in multi‑agent large language model systems. It uses a learned execution memory with write and retrieval gates to keep only non‑redundant reasoning steps, and an adaptive halting controller to stop execution when enough evidence is gathered. Experiments on five reasoning and code‑generation benchmarks show the approach achieves higher accuracy and reduces inference cost by 31.9% compared to the strongest baseline.

In-the-Flow Agentic System Optimization for Effective Planning and Tool Use

arXiv:2510. 05592v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Outcome-driven reinforcement learning has advanced reasoning in large language models (LLMs), but prevailing tool-augmented approaches train a single, monolithic policy that interleaves thoughts and tool calls under full context; this scales poorly with long horizons and diverse tools and generalizes weakly to new scenarios.

Ban&Pick: Enhancing Performance and Efficiency of MoE-LLMs via Smarter Routing

The paper introduces Ban&Pick, a post‑training, plug‑and‑play routing strategy for Sparse Mixture‑of‑Experts large language models. It identifies and reinforces a small group of highly influential experts while dynamically pruning redundant ones, leading to accuracy gains across math, code, and reasoning benchmarks. Experiments on DeepSeek and Qwen3 show notable performance improvements and a 1.25× inference speedup without retraining or architectural changes.

Agentic ESOpt: Fine-Tuning Long-Horizon LLM Agents with Minimal GPU Requirements

Agentic ESOpt proposes using evolution strategies (ES) instead of reinforcement learning to fine‑tune large language‑model agents for long‑horizon tasks. ES offers model scalability, flexibility, and better long‑horizon credit assignment, enabling full‑parameter optimization with minimal GPU memory. The framework samples parameter perturbations, evaluates agents with rewards, and updates online, achieving notable performance gains on WebArena‑Lite and in test‑time prompt‑parameter co‑evolution.
