A Scalable Multi-LLM Collaboration System with Retrieval-based Selection and Exploration-Exploitation-Driven Enhancement

Shengji Tang, Jianjian Cao, Weihao Lin, Jiale Hong, Bo Zhang

his paper introduces SMCS, a scalable system for multi-LLM collaboration. It addresses scalability issues by using a retrieval module to select the best LLMs for a given task and an enhancement module to improve response diversity and quality. SMCS demonstrates superior performance compared to existing closed-source LLMs by effectively integrating multiple open-source models.

(a) SCM of the Latent Contextual POMDP. Gray/white nodes are observed/latent variables; green/red edges represent transitions driven by latents/expert policies, respectively. (b) Examples where latents influence either dynamics or rewards (affecting optimal actions).

Ada-Diffuser: Latent-Aware Adaptive Diffusion for Decision-Making

Fan Feng, Selena Ge et al.

Ada-Diffuser addresses decision-making by treating it as sequence modeling with diffusion models. Its core method is a unified framework that explicitly infers and models evolving latent dynamics alongside observed interactions. This allows for more precise en…

Agentic Discovery of Neural Architectures: AIRA-Compose and AIRA-Design

Alberto Pepe, Chien-Yu Lin et al.

This paper introduces AIRA, a dual-framework approach where LLM agents autonomously discover novel neural architectures. AIRA-Compose searches for high-level primitives, while AIRA-Design handles low-level implementation, leading to new Transformer-based and h…

AIRA-Compose and AIRA-Design: agentic frameworks for neural architecture search and model design. (a–c) Downstream evaluations of selected agent-found architectures scaled-up to 1B scale with fixed token budget, alongside baselines and traditional NAS-found models: (a) validation loss, and (b) zero-shot average normalized accuracy across 6 tasks. (c) Best test accuracy after 24 GPU hours on the three Long Range Arena tasks. Greedy Opus 4.6 achieves the highest scores on ListOps (0.51) and Retrieval (0.79); Greedy Gemini 3 Pro leads on Text (0.88). (d) Autoresearch training-script optimization: cumulative best bits-per-byte (BPB) over agent steps. Greedy Opus 4.6 achieves the lowest BPB across 100 runs.

AstraFlow: Dataflow-Oriented Reinforcement Learning for Agentic LLMs

Haizhong Zheng, Yizhuo Di et al.

AstraFlow addresses the high cost of reinforcement learning for agentic LLMs by introducing a dataflow-oriented system. It decouples rollout, dataflow management, and training into autonomous components, enabling efficient support for complex, multi-policy tra…

Beyond Individual Intelligence: Surveying Collaboration, Failure Attribution, and Self-Evolution in LLM-based Multi-Agent Systems

Shihao Qi, Jie Ma et al.

This paper surveys LLM-based multi-agent systems by proposing a unified framework called the LIFE progression. It highlights how individual agent capabilities (Lay) enable collaboration (Integrate), which in turn necessitates fault attribution (Find) for effec…
