通过递归分解与模块化设计,提升长时序多智能体系统的推理能力与可解释性。
ROMA: Recursive Open Meta-Agent Framework for Long-Horizon Multi-Agent Systems
- 采用递归任务分解与结构化聚合,控制上下文增长并支持并行执行。
- 在SEAL-0上比Kimi-Researcher高9.9%准确率,在EQ-Bench上媲美Claude Sonnet 4.5。
- 框架模块化设计清晰,适合混合不同模型与工具的异构系统使用。
现有智能体框架在长时序任务中表现不佳。随着推理深度增加,顺序编排变得脆弱,上下文窗口带来硬性限制且性能下降,执行轨迹不透明导致故障难以定位与调试。我们提出ROMA(Recursive Open Meta-Agents)——一种领域无关的框架,通过递归任务分解与结构化聚合解决上述问题。ROMA将目标分解为依赖感知的子任务树,支持并行执行;聚合模块压缩并验证中间结果,控制上下文增长。框架以四个模块化角色为核心:Atomizer(决定是否分解任务)、Planner、Executor和Aggregator,实现编排与模型选择分离,生成可追溯的分层执行轨迹。该设计支持异构多智能体系统,按成本、延迟与能力混合使用模型与工具。为无需微调即可适配特定任务,我们引入改进的GEPA+,在ROMA组件层级搜索提示词,同时保持接口契约。实验表明,结合GEPA+的ROMA在推理与长文本生成基准上达到领先水平:在评估冲突网络证据推理的SEAL-0上,使用GLM-4.6的ROMA相较Kimi-Researcher准确率提升9.9%;在长文本写作基准EQ-Bench上,使DeepSeek-V3性能媲美顶级闭源模型Claude Sonnet 4.5。结果证明,递归模块化架构可在保持可解释性、灵活性与模型无关性的同时,有效扩展推理深度。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Current agentic frameworks underperform on long-horizon tasks. As reasoning depth increases, sequential orchestration becomes brittle, context windows impose hard limits that degrade performance, and opaque execution traces make failures difficult to localize or debug. We introduce ROMA (Recursive Open Meta-Agents), a domain-agnostic framework that addresses these limitations through recursive task decomposition and structured aggregation. ROMA decomposes goals into dependency-aware subtask trees that can be executed in parallel, while aggregation compresses and validates intermediate results to control context growth. Our framework standardizes agent construction around four modular roles --Atomizer (which decides whether a task should be decomposed), Planner, Executor, and Aggregator -- which cleanly separate orchestration from model selection and enable transparent, hierarchical execution traces. This design supports heterogeneous multi-agent systems that mix models and tools according to cost, latency, and capability. To adapt ROMA to specific tasks without fine-tuning, we further introduce GEPA$+$, an improved Genetic-Pareto prompt proposer that searches over prompts within ROMA's component hierarchy while preserving interface contracts. We show that ROMA, combined with GEPA+, delivers leading system-level performance on reasoning and long-form generation benchmarks. On SEAL-0, which evaluates reasoning over conflicting web evidence, ROMA instantiated with GLM-4.6 improves accuracy by 9.9\% over Kimi-Researcher. On EQ-Bench, a long-form writing benchmark, ROMA enables DeepSeek-V3 to match the performance of leading closed-source models such as Claude Sonnet 4.5. Our results demonstrate that recursive, modular agent architectures can scale reasoning depth while remaining interpretable, flexible, and model-agnostic.
