摘要 Collective intelligence can emerge when individuals coordinate through a shared environment, allowing local actions to accumulate into durable social organization. Language-model agents offer a new substrate for this process, yet most multi-agent systems rely on direct conversation, predefined roles, or centralized workflows. It remains unclear whether decentralized agents can build functional technologies and outperform independent search. Here, initially homogeneous LLM agents in SwarmWorld self-organize without assigned roles or recipes into evolving technological societies. Agents explore a spatial environment, process resources, test materials, construct persistent artifacts, and write executable controllers evaluated by a deterministic simulator under unseen disturbances after the agents are removed. SwarmWorld splits cognition from consequence: agents propose architectures and controllers within fixed action and material schemas, while the simulated world determines function. Shared societies develop broader, more resilient technological portfolios than a strong best-of-N isolated-search baseline, although isolated search remains competitive for the strongest artifact. Agents differentiate into exploration, construction, maintenance, and coordination behaviors, transitioning as the world matures. Technologies accumulate through collaborative construction, executable inheritance, and persistent agent-artifact networks, with most reuse beginning through physical observation rather than communication. Explicit cultural mechanisms amplify collaboration and organization, but functional benefits depend on outcome and timescale. Physical stigmergy alone supports capable societies, while interaction drives persistent technological ecologies rather than universally superior individual inventions.

摘要 Multi-agent large language model (LLM) workflows have emerged as a powerful paradigm for solving complex, open-ended tasks through collaborative reasoning among specialized LLM agents, but they incur substantial operating costs due to repeated LLM invocations and long-horizon context accumulation. Existing cascade routing methods make one-shot, query-level decisions and cannot adapt to the dynamic, state-dependent nature of multi-step workflows, in which the right LLM at each step depends on evolving task progress, remaining task difficulty, and cost-efficiency requirements. We present ProgRouter, an online progress-guided routing framework that adaptively selects LLM agents across workflow steps to preserve task-solving quality while adhering to time and cost budgets. ProgRouter introduces a multi-view task progress scorer that combines coarse workflow outcome regimes with fine-grained signals on subtask completion, progress trends, and workflow state quality. Then, a dual-path task progress predictor and an adaptive meta-gating mechanism estimate the progress gain for each candidate routed LLM. ProgRouter makes online step-wise routing decisions that balance progress gain, task time budgets, and long-term operating cost efficiency. Experiments on HumanEval Plus, MBPP, MATH-500, and ASQA, spanning agentic code generation, mathematical reasoning, and retrieval-augmented long-form question answering, demonstrate that ProgRouter reduces the operating cost relative to key baselines while maintaining strong task-solving performance.
