MOC: Multi-Order Communication in LLM-based Multi-Agent Systems

arXiv:2606. 02359v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Despite the remarkable progress of Large Language Model (LLM) based Multi-Agent Systems, most research focuses on optimizing coordination topology while largely underexploring the equally critical problem: how to transmit and optimize messages among agents effectively?

STABLEVAL: Disagreement-Aware and Stable Evaluation of AI Systems

arXiv:2605. 02122v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Human evaluation remains the primary standard for assessing modern AI systems, yet annotator disagreement, bias, and variability make system rankings fragile under standard majority vote aggregation.

World Models: A Comprehensive Survey of Architectures, Methodologies, Reasoning Paradigms, and Applications

arXiv:2606. 00133v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: World models, internal simulators that learn the structure and dynamics of an environment, have emerged as a central paradigm in the pursuit of artificial general intelligence, enabling agents to predict, plan, and reason within learned representations.

When Does Multi-Agent RL Improve LLM Workflows? Workflow, Scale, and Policy-Sharing Tradeoffs

arXiv:2605. 24202v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Multi-agent LLM workflows route inference through specialized roles to lift end-task accuracy, but jointly training those roles with reinforcement learning is unstable in ways that are poorly understood.

CV-Arena: An Open Benchmark for Instructional Computer Vision Problem Solving with Human-AI Collaborative Preferences

arXiv:2606. 00931v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Instruction-guided image editing is becoming a general interface for visual work, yet existing benchmarks still focus largely on narrow appearance edits and do not fully capture the diversity of real-image tasks in professional workflows.

Coordination Graphs for Constrained Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2606. 02337v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Constrained Multi-agent reinforcement learning (CMARL) faces two intertwined challenges: the joint action space grows exponentially with the number of agents, and additional requirements couple agents in ways that reward structure alone does not capture.

MCP-Persona: Benchmarking LLM Agents on Real-World Personal Applications via Environment Simulation

arXiv:2606. 02470v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The Model Context Protocol (MCP) has emerged as a transformative standard for connecting large language models (LLMs) with external data sources and tools, and has been rapidly adopted across personal applications and development platforms.

Harness-1: Reinforcement Learning for Search Agents with State-Externalizing Harnesses

arXiv:2606. 02373v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Search agents are often trained as policies over growing transcripts: the model must decide how to search while also remembering what it has seen, which evidence is useful, which constraints remain open, and which claims have actually been checked.

CRISP -- Clustering-Based Redundancy-Reduced Instance Sampling for Pathology Case Representation and Retrieval

arXiv:2605. 24253v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Digital pathology archives increasingly contain multiple whole-slide images (WSIs) per case, capturing spatially distinct tumour regions and reflecting intrinsic morphological heterogeneity.
