TacoMAS introduces a framework for LLM-based multi-agent systems that co-evolves agent capabilities and communication topology during test-time inference using distinct timescales. This approach yields an average accuracy improvement of 13.3% across four diverse benchmarks compared to leading baselines.

Key insights

  • Optimal MAS performance requires joint adaptation of both agent capabilities and communication topology.
  • Separating the timescales of adaptation (fast for capabilities, slow for topology) is crucial for maintaining system stability and achieving effective co-evolution.
  • The meta-LLM can serve as an effective diagnostic coach to drive both localized agent refinements and global structural reorganizations in a principled manner.
