AI代理用人类语言通信,可能因结构错配导致协作失效。
Why do AI agents communicate in human language?
- 用自然语言通信违背了大模型的向量空间本质
- 现有训练方式无法支持角色连续性和多代理依赖
- 呼吁构建原生支持多代理协作的新模型范式
大型语言模型(LLMs)已成为现代AI代理系统的基础,使自主代理具备推理与规划能力。当前多数系统中,代理间通信主要依赖自然语言。尽管该设计提升可解释性与人工监管便利性,但其引入了根本性局限:自然语言的语义空间与LLM运行的高维向量空间结构不匹配,导致信息丢失与行为漂移。更深层的问题在于,当前LLM未以支持代理行为为目标进行训练,缺乏对角色连续性、任务边界和多代理依赖性的建模机制。标准的下一个词预测范式无法支撑稳健、可扩展的代理协作所需的结构性对齐。因此,本文提出两个核心问题:第一,在高维向量空间中运行的代理,是否应依赖为人类认知设计的语言系统作为通信媒介?第二,是否应构建从零开始支持结构化通信、共享意图与任务对齐的新型模型范式?本文呼吁重新思考代理通信方式,以及如何训练能原生支持多代理协作的模型。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Large Language Models (LLMs) have become foundational to modern AI agent systems, enabling autonomous agents to reason and plan. In most existing systems, inter-agent communication relies primarily on natural language. While this design supports interpretability and human oversight, we argue that it introduces fundamental limitations in agent-to-agent coordination. The semantic space of natural language is structurally misaligned with the high-dimensional vector spaces in which LLMs operate, resulting in information loss and behavioral drift. Beyond surface-level inefficiencies, we highlight a deeper architectural limitation: current LLMs were not trained with the objective of supporting agentic behavior. As such, they lack mechanisms for modeling role continuity, task boundaries, and multi-agent dependencies. The standard next-token prediction paradigm fails to support the structural alignment required for robust, scalable agent coordination. Based on this, we argue that two core questions deserve careful examination: first, given that AI agents fundamentally operate in high-dimensional vector spaces, should they rely on a language system originally designed for human cognition as their communication medium? Second, should we consider developing a new model construction paradigm that builds models from the ground up to natively support structured communication, shared intentionality, and task alignment in multi-role, multi-agent environments? This paper calls for a reconsideration not only of how agents should communicate, but also of what it fundamentally means to train a model that natively supports multi-agent coordination and communication.
