摘要 The fundamental goal of agentic visual reasoning is to improve the success rate of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) on complex tasks, rather than merely equipping them with a sophisticated yet inefficient reasoning paradigm. In this work, we rethink agentic visual reasoning through two key dimensions of tool use: Mode Adaptiveness (MA) and Tool Effect (TE). Mode Adaptiveness characterizes whether an MLLM can recognize when tools are truly necessary and invoke them accordingly, thereby avoiding unnecessary computational overhead while improving performance on challenging problems that require tool assistance. Tool Effect characterizes the actual impact of tool use: tools should extend the model's capabilities on problems unsolvable through text-only reasoning, while avoiding additional errors on problems that the model can already solve without tools. We conduct a comprehensive analysis to quantify these two properties and empirically reveal that existing agentic visual reasoning models exhibit limited Mode Adaptiveness, while the gains produced by tool use on hard examples are largely offset by the harm introduced on easy examples that the models can already solve. Motivated by these observations, we propose Beacon, a novel agentic visual reasoning model that achieves stronger overall performance, improved Mode Adaptiveness, and genuine tool-induced performance gains. At the core of Beacon are the Necessity-Aware Adaptive Reward and the Hint-Guided Capability Expansion mechanism in the reinforcement learning stage, which respectively encourage adaptive tool invocation based on task necessity and strengthen the model's tool-use capability on the most challenging problems. Extensive experiments across diverse benchmarks demonstrate the strong overall performance of Beacon and its substantial improvements in both Mode Adaptiveness and Tool Effect.

摘要 Large language model-based multi-agent systems improve complex problem solving through task decomposition, agent specialization, information exchange, and intermediate validation. However, existing systems typically treat communication topology as a fixed design choice or an offline optimization target. We introduce MANTA, a framework for Multi-Agent Network Topology Adaptation that enables communication structures to self-evolve at inference time. Before execution, MANTA initializes a task-conditioned topology from prior structural experience. During deployment, it monitors collaboration traces and applies bounded structural updates when the current organization becomes insufficient. These updates can modify agent roles, communication links, execution order, information visibility, and validation pathways while preserving the task interface and agent budget. We evaluate MANTA against representative single-agent and multi-agent baselines on five benchmarks spanning information seeking, tool use, planning, workflow execution, and mathematical reasoning. MANTA achieves the highest average score of 74.0, outperforming the strongest baseline by 5.8 percentage points and obtaining the best result on PlanCraft. These results show that inference-time self-improvement can extend to the architecture of collaboration itself.
