NEW paper worth reading: MetaCogAgent MetaCogAgent equips a multi-agent system with metacognition so each agent decides whether it should answer or delegate. In other words, it aims for self-aware task delegation rather than fixed routing. The bottleneck in multi-agent systems

Paper: GPT-5.4 Nano with Critic-Comparator Reaches SWE-bench Parity
By
–
NEW paper worth reading. GPT-5.4 nano plus a critic-comparator orchestration loop hits 76.4% on SWE-bench Verified, matching standalone Gemini 3 Pro and Claude Opus 4.5 Thinking. The trick is to select from k=8 weak-model proposals using execution and proof signals. What does

Technical Survey of Multi-Agent AI Systems and Self-Evolution
By
–
// Beyond Individual Intelligence // One of the more useful multi-agent surveys I've read this year. 200+ papers mapped along three axes: collaboration mechanisms, failure attribution, and self-evolution. The self-evolution chapter is the cleanest field map of where memory,

AEvo: A Method for Iterative AI Agent Self-Improvement
By
–
// Harnessing Agentic Evolution // Pay attention to this one if you run iterative agentic search loops. (bookmark it) AEvo splits the self-improvement loop into two jobs: > One proposes the next candidate. > The other watches what worked, what failed, and edits the procedure

δ-mem: An efficient online memory mechanism for LLMs
By

// δ-mem: Efficient Online Memory for LLMs // One of the more elegant memory mechanisms I've seen this month. Most long-term memory work either inflates context or retrains the model. This paper shows a tiny external state, coupled directly into the attention computation, can

New research challenges the assumption that multi-agent systems improve LLM reasoning
By
–
Do multi-agent systems make LLM reasoning better? Most AI devs assume that it should. But this new paper shows that this is often not the case. It ran 22,500 deterministic trajectories across GAIA, SWE-bench, and Multi-Challenge with three frontier models. Agents frequently
