The OSC framework enhances multi-agent LLM collaboration by introducing dynamic knowledge alignment and adaptive communication, allowing agents to model collaborators' cognitive states and refine interactions. It achieves an 81.4% LC win rate on AlpacaEval 2.0 and an average score of 9.94 on MT-Bench, while reducing communication rounds to 4.6 and increasing conflict resolution to 89.5%.

Key insights

  • Enabling agents to dynamically model and update their understanding of collaborators' cognitive states (knowledge, reasoning, confidence) is crucial for effective collaboration.
  • Identifying and quantifying 'cognitive gaps' between agents' understanding allows for targeted and efficient communication, resolving discrepancies rapidly.
  • An adaptive, learned communication strategy that selects objectives, targets, and styles based on dynamic cognitive state models significantly improves both task performance and communication efficiency.
