Multi-Agent Systems

Multi-Agent Systems

Concept page for systems where multiple LLM-driven agents coordinate, communicate, or compete to solve a task.

This page accumulates findings on:

  • Coordination architectures — orchestrator/worker, peer-to-peer, hierarchical, mixture-of-agents.
  • Communication protocols — message-passing topologies, prompt-engineered hand-offs, shared scratchpads.
  • Specialization — heterogeneous agent pools where each model handles a sub-task it's best at.
  • Cross-agent learning — RL signals shared across agents, curriculum design for joint training.
  • Failure modes — drift, deadlock, and adversarial dynamics between agents.
