Recent advancements in LLM-based multi-agent (LLM-MA) systems have shown promise, yet significant challenges remain in managing communication and refinement when agents collaborate on complex tasks. In this paper, we propose \textit{Talk Structurally, Act Hierarchically (TalkHier)}, a novel framework that introduces a structured communication protocol for context-rich exchanges and a hierarchical refinement system to address issues such as incorrect outputs, falsehoods, and biases. \textit{TalkHier} surpasses various types of SoTA, including inference scaling model (OpenAI-o1), open-source multi-agent models (e.g., AgentVerse), and majority voting strategies on current LLM and single-agent baselines (e.g., ReAct, GPT4o), across diverse tasks, including open-domain question answering, domain-specific selective questioning, and practical advertisement text generation. These results highlight its potential to set a new standard for LLM-MA systems, paving the way for more effective, adaptable, and collaborative multi-agent frameworks. The code is available https://github.com/sony/talkhier.

Faithful, Not Corrective: Message-Format Effects in Multi-Hop Agent Relays Are Tier-Dependent
Format effects on multi-hop LLM relay fidelity are tier-dependent: strong relays are nearly lossless, weak relays pay an encoding toll that fixed-key JSON later resists, and structure localizes rather than corrects errors.

The Vision Wormhole: Latent-Space Communication in Heterogeneous Multi-Agent Systems
Reasoning messages between heterogeneous VLMs can be routed through the image-token span: a distilled universal codec plus affine alignment transmits latent traces across model families, cutting wall-clock time in sma...

Latent Collaboration in Multi-Agent Systems
Replacing text inter-agent dialogue with direct transfer of hidden-state (KV-cache) representations cuts output tokens by ~70-84%, speeds inference ~4x, and keeps multi-agent accuracy roughly on par or slightly better.

CodeAgents: A Token-Efficient Framework for Codified Multi-Agent Reasoning in LLMs
Rewriting multi-agent LLM prompts as pseudocode with assertions, replanning, and comments yields moderate accuracy gains and large token savings in the tests reported here, though some headline numbers are overstated.
