COOP$^2$: Defining, Observing, and Repairing Cooperation in LLM Multi-Agent Systems 文章

arXiv:2603.00349v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Many complex tasks require extended effort, diverse capabilities, or coordinated actions beyond what a single agent can provide. However, simply adding more agents does not guarantee better performance, as effective cooperation depends on how agents interact with each other and with task structure to satisfy evolving constraints over time. This challenge is amplified for LLM-based multi-agent systems (LLM-MAS): plans, messages, and revisions occur in natural language, whereas task progress depends on grounded environment actions. Current evaluations mostly treat cooperation as an implicit ingredient of final task success, leaving both cooperation and the effect of multi-agent interaction on task dynamics difficult to study. We introduce COOP$^2$, an evaluation framework that grounds high-level agent cooperation dynamics in LLM-MAS within task progress in the environment.
