多个智能体协作推理,提升长任务处理能力
AgentFugue: Agent Scaling for Long-Horizon Tasks through Collective Reasoning

- 多智能体并行探索任务,通过共享推理枢纽交换发现
- 在复杂长序列任务中,性能优于强基线模型
- 无需角色分工,适合大规模智能体系统研究
长时序智能体任务的进展主要依赖于单个智能体的规模扩展,如更强模型、更好工具和更优架构。然而,对智能体数量扩展(scaling out)的理解仍不足:多个同级智能体在不进行显式角色分工或工作流编排的情况下,能否作为额外能力来源?本文提出AgentFugue,一种基于共享推理枢纽的集体推理框架。各智能体并行探索同一任务时,枢纽记录每个智能体已建立、尝试或排除的关键信息,并支持智能体按需获取其他智能体的有用发现。该设计将原本孤立的推理轨迹转化为可复用的中间推理生态,无需集中规划。我们以可插拔通信层实现枢纽,通过监督微调和端到端强化学习训练。在多个挑战性长时序任务中,AgentFugue显著优于强基线。结果表明,集体推理可使同级智能体系统的规模扩展成为独立的能力增益源,而不仅是消耗更多计算资源的方式。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Recent progress on long-horizon agentic tasks has been driven largely by scaling up individual agents through stronger models, better tools, and more effective scaffolding. In contrast, much less is understood about scaling out: whether multiple peer agents, all targeting the same task, can become an additional source of capability without relying on explicit role specialization or workflow orchestration. We study this question and propose AgentFugue, a collective reasoning framework built around a shared reasoning hub. As peer agents explore the same task in parallel, the hub records concise notes on what each agent has established, attempted, or ruled out, and enables each agent to selectively access what other agents have discovered in a form useful for its current search. This design turns otherwise isolated trajectories into a connected ecology of reusable intermediate reasoning without requiring centralized planning. We instantiate the hub as a plug-in communication layer, trained with supervised fine-tuning and end-to-end reinforcement learning. Across the challenging long-horizon settings we study, AgentFugue improves over strong baselines. Our results suggest that collective reasoning can turn scaling out peer agent systems into a distinct source of capability gains, rather than merely a way of spending more compute.
