ARMOR-MAD: Adaptive Routing for Heterogeneous Multi-Agent Debate in Large Language Model Reasoning
arXiv:2606.13197v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-agent debate (MAD) can improve large language model reasoning, but fixed debate pipelines often waste computation and can amplify correlated errors among similar agents. We propose ARMOR-MAD, a training-free heterogeneous MAD framework that treats debate as conditional computation. ARMOR-MAD combines three components: Pre-debate Agreement Routing (PAR) decides whether independently generated Round-0 answers require debate; Early Agreement Stopping Evaluator (EASE) stops debate after convergence; and Semantic Outlier Detection (SOD) down-wei
The rapid advancement and deployment of large language models necessitate more efficient and reliable reasoning mechanisms to handle increasing complexity and reduce computational overhead.
Improving multi-agent debate frameworks directly enhances the reasoning capabilities and efficiency of advanced AI systems, impacting their real-world applicability and cost.
AI models can now employ more adaptive and computationally efficient debate mechanisms, leading to more robust and less resource-intensive problem-solving.
