Critic-Guided Heterogeneous Multi-Agent Reasoning for Reliable Mathematical Problem Solving

arXiv:2606.05704v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown impressive reasoning abilities; but they are still susceptible to hallucinations, intermediate reasoning mistakes, and unreliable reasoning results in complex mathematical reasoning problems. In this study, we introduce a critic-based heterogeneous multi-agent approach to improve the dependability of mathematical reasoning. This framework incorporates several LLM agents of different specialties and employs a critic-driven adaptive learning system to assess and guide the reasoning process based on i

Why this matters
Why now

The rapid advancement and deployment of LLMs have highlighted their current limitations in complex reasoning and reliability, spurring immediate research into addressing these fundamental issues.

Why it’s important

Improving LLM dependability in complex tasks, especially mathematical reasoning, is critical for their broader adoption in sensitive applications and for building truly autonomous AI agents.

What changes

The focus is shifting from raw LLM output generation to architecting more robust, verifiable, and explainable reasoning processes through multi-agent collaboration and critical evaluation.
