Agents unlock new capabilities through Switching LoRA Adapters as a Tool (SLAaaT)

The paper introduces Switching LoRA Adapters as a Tool (SLAaaT), a method that lets agents dynamically switch between specialized LoRA adapters during a trajectory. By applying this to two synthetic coding tasks, the authors show that agents can solve problems they previously failed, autonomously select strategies that outperform a human heuristic, and reduce the capability tax by up to 18× compared to using a single adapter. SLAaaT also outperforms spawning subagents in both task performance and token efficiency.

EMMA: Structured Episodic Memory for Multi-Agent Workflow Synthesis

EMMA is a framework that treats the configuration of a multi‑agent system—controller routing, specialist prompts, and procedural skills—as structured episodic memory. It explicitly assigns ownership and limits updates through a reflector and backbone‑independent guards, ensuring edits are scoped, incremental, and bounded. Experiments on KramaBench, AppWorld, and BBEH show EMMA outperforms four baselines, achieving up to 32.5% higher performance and reducing training executions by 17–38%.
