Divide and Cooperate: Role-Decomposed Multi-Agent LLM Training with Cross-Agent Learning Signals
arXiv:2606.10684v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern language agents which perform multi-step reasoning have shown strong performance in knowledge-intensive question answering. However, existing approaches typically couple evidence acquisition and answer generation within a single policy. This forces a single model to play multiple potentially conflicting roles, inducing a combinatorial explosion in the policy space and hindering efficient exploration. It also introduces a credit assignment problem during training: a search action that retrieves sufficient evidence may still be penalized whe
The increasing complexity of multi-step reasoning tasks for large language models necessitates a more sophisticated and distributed computational approach.
This research outlines a method for more efficient and robust training of advanced AI agents, leading to significant improvements in performance for complex, real-world tasks.
The way multi-agent LLM systems are designed and trained, moving from monolithic policies to more specialized, cooperative, and robust architectures, becomes more efficient.
