arXiv:2605.25421v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Communication protocol design is a central challenge in large language model-based multi-agent systems. Existing single-channel approaches face an inherent communication trilemma: text-based methods are interpretable but verbose, while latent-space methods are efficient but opaque and limited to unidirectional workflows. Inspired by multi-channel communication theory, we propose HyLaT, a hybrid latent-text communication protocol that transmits elaborate cognitive signals through a latent channel for efficiency, while expressing concise critical s
The proliferation of multi-agent systems and the inherent limitations of current communication protocols necessitate more efficient and nuanced inter-agent communication, especially as AI systems become more complex.
This development addresses a fundamental bottleneck in multi-agent AI, potentially unlocking greater efficiency, scalability, and performance in coordinated AI systems.
New communication protocols will allow AI agents to balance interpretability with efficiency, moving beyond simpler text or latent-space methods.
