Adding more communication pathways between agents doesn’t necessarily improve multi-agent performance. In a controlled, reproducible experiment across 50 runs, recovery remained remarkably stable from 20% to 100% relationship density.

arXiv:2608. 15242v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: When a long-horizon agent execution fails, outcome-level evaluation reveals the unsuccessful result but not where the decisive error entered the trajectory.

arXiv:2608. 15089v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-horizon agents can fail even when their underlying models can solve the constituent steps.

arXiv:2608. 15165v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents can continually improve without parameter updates by converting historical experience into reusable procedural knowledge.

arXiv:2608. 14943v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent skills are often injected in full on every request, increasing token cost.

arXiv:2608. 14680v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reliability in LLM-based agentic systems is a property of the whole execution (its tool calls, model calls, guardrails, and inter-agent messages), not of the final answer alone, yet evaluating only task outcomes reveals little about how or why a run fails.

arXiv:2608. 14903v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Quantitative forecasts of frontier artificial intelligence often connect dated targets to trends in benchmark scores, training compute, release time, or expert belief.

arXiv:2608. 14927v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-agent large language model (LLM) systems can improve reasoning by spending more computation, but deployment requires deciding when extra collaboration is worth its cost.

arXiv:2608. 15052v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Andy is an autonomous mathematical research agent that solves and verifies submitted problems, formulates new research problems, and constructs rigorous proofs.

arXiv:2608. 15082v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cold chain logistics has advanced technologically, yet most deployed systems remain reactive monitors, not decision-making agents: thresholds trigger alerts, but nothing relates violations to cumulative product degradation or converts degradation signals into logistics decisions.

arXiv:2608. 15117v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Analytical models of peak VRAM consumption for LLM inference decompose memory into weight-storage, KV-cache, and activation terms parameterized by step count, tool invocations, and context expansion.

arXiv:2608. 15145v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have been increasingly adopted in Text-to-SQL systems, yet SQL errors remain a major obstacle in real-world Text-to-SQL inference pipelines.

arXiv:2608. 14580v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: OGX (Open GenAI Stack) is an open-source AI application server and Python library that implements the APIs of major frontier labs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) with pluggable backend providers.

arXiv:2608. 14559v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Effective communication in multi-agent reinforcement learning requires agents to decide not only \textit{what} to communicate, but when?
By Teoman Kaman
arXiv:2608. 14613v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern LLM-agent frameworks increasingly interoperate through standards such as Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP) for agent-to-tool access and Google's Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol for agent delegation and negotiation.
By Wael Albayaydh, Rui Zhao
arXiv:2608. 14624v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-agent LLM systems have emerged as an important deployment paradigm for AI services, where each user request is decomposed into a sequence of specialized agents.

arXiv:2608. 14828v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Aligning a language agent to several objectives at once is a persistent failure mode of preference-based training: when objectives are combined additively, optimization collapses onto whichever is cheapest to improve and sacrifices the rest, so a support agent learns to sound warm while giving no real help.

arXiv:2608. 14590v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM agents increasingly perform irreversible real-world actions, including database updates, API calls, file operations, and autonomous use of tools.
