Latent Collaboration in Multi-Agent Systems

arXiv:2511.20639v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Multi-agent systems (MAS) extend large language models (LLMs) from independent single-model reasoning to coordinative system-level intelligence. While existing LLM agents depend on text-based mediation for reasoning and communication, we take a step forward by enabling models to collaborate directly within the continuous latent space. We introduce LatentMAS, an end-to-end training-free framework that enables pure latent collaboration among LLM agents. In LatentMAS, each agent first performs auto-regressive latent thoughts generation through l

Why this matters
Why now

The rapid advancement of large language models is opening new avenues for autonomous multi-agent systems, moving beyond text-based communication to more integrated forms of collaboration.

Why it’s important

Pure latent collaboration in AI agents could lead to significantly more efficient and powerful autonomous systems, impacting workflow automation and the capabilities of AI-driven entities.

What changes

AI agents are moving from explicit, text-mediated communication to implicit, continuous latent space collaboration, potentially enabling more seamless and complex multi-agent interactions.
