- 在数学推理任务上,性能最高提升47%。
- 适合想构建高效协作AI系统的研究者。
基于大模型的多智能体系统通过多个专用智能体协作,扩展了单一大模型的能力。然而,现有框架大多依赖单一大模型驱动所有智能体,限制了系统整体智能水平。本文探索异构大模型驱动的多智能体系统(X-MAS),即各智能体由不同大模型支持,从而释放多元大模型的集体智能潜力。我们提出X-MAS-Bench,一个涵盖5个领域(21个测试集)和5种功能的综合评测基准,对27个大模型进行超过170万次评估,以确定各场景下的最优模型组合。基于此,我们证明:从同质转向异构大模型驱动,无需结构重构即可显著提升系统性能。在仅聊天机器人场景中,异构配置在MATH数据集上性能提升达8.4%;在混合聊天-推理场景中,于AIME数据集上实现47%的性能飞跃。结果凸显异构大模型在多智能体系统中的变革潜力,为构建可扩展、协同的AI系统指明新方向。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
LLM-based multi-agent systems (MAS) extend the capabilities of single LLMs by enabling cooperation among multiple specialized agents. However, most existing MAS frameworks rely on a single LLM to drive all agents, constraining the system's intelligence to the limit of that model. This paper explores the paradigm of heterogeneous LLM-driven MAS (X-MAS), where agents are powered by diverse LLMs, elevating the system's potential to the collective intelligence of diverse LLMs. We introduce X-MAS-Bench, a comprehensive testbed designed to evaluate the performance of various LLMs across different domains and MAS-related functions. As an extensive empirical study, we assess 27 LLMs across 5 domains (encompassing 21 test sets) and 5 functions, conducting over 1.7 million evaluations to identify optimal model selections for each domain-function combination. Building on these findings, we demonstrate that transitioning from homogeneous to heterogeneous LLM-driven MAS can significantly enhance system performance without requiring structural redesign. Specifically, in a chatbot-only MAS scenario, the heterogeneous configuration yields up to 8.4\% performance improvement on the MATH dataset. In a mixed chatbot-reasoner scenario, the heterogeneous MAS could achieve a remarkable 47\% performance boost on the AIME dataset. Our results underscore the transformative potential of heterogeneous LLMs in MAS, highlighting a promising avenue for advancing scalable, collaborative AI systems.
