The Vision Wormhole: Latent-Space Communication in Heterogeneous Multi-Agent Systems

arXiv:2602.15382v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) powered by Large Language Models have unlocked advanced collaborative reasoning, yet they remain bottlenecked by discrete text communication, which imposes runtime overhead and information quantization loss. While latent state transfer offers an alternative, existing approaches either assume homogeneous sender--receiver architectures or rely on pair-specific learned translators, limiting scalability across diverse model families with disjoint manifolds. We reconceptualize the visual interface of Vision-Language

Why this matters
Why now

The rapid advancement of Large Language Models has necessitated more efficient communication methods within multi-agent systems to overcome current bottlenecks.

Why it’s important

This development addresses a critical limitation in AI agent systems, enabling more scalable and efficient collaboration across diverse AI architectures.

What changes

Communication between heterogeneous AI agents can move beyond discrete text to more efficient latent-space transfers, reducing overhead and information loss.
