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

Read the original on arXiv AI →

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.

The Illusion of Multi-Agent Advantage

arXiv:2606. 13003v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Prevailing wisdom posits that Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) are superior to Single-Agent Systems (SAS), citing advantages like context protection, parallel processing and distributed decision-making.

AdaSTORM: Scaling LLM Reasoning on Dynamic Graphs via Adaptive Spatio-Temporal Multi-Agent Collaboration

arXiv:2606. 16328v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate remarkable potential in dynamic graph reasoning, but suffer from a scaling bottleneck: current models can only handle graphs with tens of nodes, constrained by exponential reasoning overhead and finite context windows.

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.
