Securing the agentic enterprise with data lineage
Source : MIT Technology Review AIA sales representative asks an AI agent for customer pricing, and the agent pulls data from multiple sources: restricted pricing systems, internal communications, and archived quotes. The output looks accurate to the agent, so a second agent uses the data to draft the proposal for the sales rep. No human checks either handoff. When it’s…
How “reverse game theory” could keep AI agents in check
Source : MIT Technology Review AIA new approach known as “reverse game theory” aims to control powerful AI models by designing systems that incentivize them to stick to the rules. As AI models become more capable, safety researchers are scrambling to ensure they are “aligned” with human desires—to make sure, in other words, that rogue agents don’t break the law,…
Raising the quality of insights in agentic analytics
Source : MIT Technology Review AIIn just a few years, generative AI has changed the face of enterprise analytics, notably by making analytics accessible to users across the organization. Agentic AI promises to do even more, by automating entire workflows and taking actions based on agent insights. But there is a problem: The quality of insights that agents currently generate…
s$^3$: Simple Scaling of Swarms via Cooperative Multi-agent RL
Source : arXiv Multi-Agent SystemsarXiv:2611.08615v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Groups can achieve more than individuals in the same amount of time, but only if their members coordinate: they must decide who works on what and what to share. However, this organization in multi-agent systems today usually comes from arbitrary, static harnesses designed a priori without adapting to agent behaviors or task specifications. We ask whether agents can instead learn to organize themselves. We introduce s$^3$, the first multi-agent reinforcement learning method in which agents decide for themselves how long to work alone and when to share findings or read teammates' messages, with no predefined organization or roles. Our s$^3$ agents learn to take different approaches, read each other's work, exhibit emergent roles that complement each other in the swarm, and generalize to bigger teams. We study both coordination, where agents must combine private information, and parallel exploration, where sharing discoveries can make searc
Divide, Diagnose, and Compose: Optimizing Agentic Pipelines and Harnesses
Source : arXiv Multi-Agent SystemsarXiv:2611.08723v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Building agentic pipelines that achieve high task performance while keeping cost and latency low requires jointly optimizing heterogeneous and coupled design choices, including prompts, topology, model selection, and tool policies. Manually searching this combinatorial design space is expensive and time-consuming, while existing automated optimizers typically operate within a predefined subset of this space, modify the pipeline monolithically, or provide little structured evidence for pipeline changes. To mitigate these challenges, we introduce the Decomposed Credit-Assignment Framework (DeCAF), which adapts the design space to the given benchmark and pipeline, optimizes each dimension separately, and generates reasoning traces for every decision. Given a task specification, benchmark examples, and a seed pipeline, DeCAF identifies relevant optimization dimensions and generates diverse experimental hypotheses for each. Independent coding
ODD+LLM: Specifying LLM-Agent Behavior for Reproducible Social Simulation
Source : arXiv Multi-Agent SystemsarXiv:2611.08932v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The ODD protocol is the de facto standard for describing agent-based models, but it lacks vocabulary for the components that determine LLM-agent behavior: prompt assembly, memory serialization, parsing, and retry logic. We propose ODD+LLM, a backward-compatible extension adding five documentation blocks grounded in the CoALA cognitive-architecture framework. To show that the gap matters, we conduct a multiverse analysis [Steegen et al., 2016] of a published LLM naming-game simulation, varying six specification choices a reimplementer must make. Variants that are defensible readings of the paper stay within statistical noise of our baseline reconstruction. Missing one instruction that the paper states but is easy to overlook (that the model answers as an outside observer rather than as a player) raises the share of runs settling on the convention agents individually favor from 0.35 to 1.00 and makes convergence three times faster, in a re
