KV-streams for Efficient Compaction in Agentic Reinforcement Learning

Emiliano Penaloza, Dane Malenfant, Dheeraj Vattikonda +15

Scaling the horizon of agentic LLMs is bottlenecked by the need to fit ever longer context traces in GPU memory. Context compaction has been the most popular mechanism to alleviate…

Moral Hazard in Multi-Agent Language Models

Dane Malenfant

Cooperation can fail when socially valuable effort is costly, hard to observe, and benefits mainly someone else. Building on Holmstrom's model of moral hazard in teams, the Dialogu…

Reinforcing the World's Edge: A Continual Learning Problem in the Multi-Agent-World Boundary

Dane Malenfant

Ordinary decentralized multi-agent reinforcement learning presents each focal agent with a continual learning problem: peer updates change its induced rewards and dynamics even whe…

The challenge of hidden gifts in multi-agent reinforcement learning

Dane Malenfant, Blake A. Richards

Sometimes we benefit from actions that others have taken even when we are unaware that they took those actions. For example, if your neighbor chooses not to take a parking spot in…

Contrastive Retrospection: honing in on critical steps for rapid learning and generalization in RL

Chen Sun, Wannan Yang, Thomas Jiralerspong +4

In real life, success is often contingent upon multiple critical steps that are distant in time from each other and from the final reward. These critical steps are challenging to i…
