Addressing Redundant Computation in Parallel Agents
Current parallel agentic systems, while robust, suffer from significant computational redundancy. Independent teams often repeat identical intermediate steps, leading to wasted resources and increased latency. Learning to Share (LTS) directly tackles this by introducing a global shared memory.
Enterprise Process Flow
The Power of Learned Memory Admission
Blindly sharing all intermediate steps can be counterproductive, introducing noise and increasing context length. LTS implements a lightweight, learned memory controller that intelligently decides which intermediate agent steps are globally useful to store and share, optimizing for both efficiency and accuracy.
| Strategy | Task Accuracy (AssistantBench, GPT-5.1) | Avg. Runtime (AssistantBench, GPT-5.1) | Key Benefit / Drawback |
|---|---|---|---|
| M1-Parallel (No Memory) | 24.0% | 1389s | Baseline for parallel exploration; high redundancy |
| LTS-AddAll (Naive Sharing) | 23.0% | 784s | Significant runtime reduction, but accuracy suffers from noise and irrelevant information |
| LTS-LLM (Prompted LLM Filtering) | 25.7% | 856s | Partial mitigation of noise, improved accuracy over naive sharing |
| LTS (Learned Selective Admission) | 26.7% | 882s | Optimal balance of accuracy and significant runtime reduction by filtering noise |
Unlocking Unprecedented Efficiency Gains
LTS not only speeds up parallel agentic systems but also enhances their robustness and solution quality, particularly for the most challenging tasks. This dual benefit positions LTS as a critical advancement for enterprise AI applications.
Case Study: Intelligent Error Handling & Reuse
In a task requiring code execution for World Bank data processing, an agent team encountered a parsing error. Without LTS, this error would likely lead to additional retries and wasted computation across parallel teams. However, the LTS memory controller intelligently identified this failed step as non-reusable and rejected it (Figure S3), preventing it from polluting the shared memory with noisy, irrelevant information. Conversely, when an agent successfully retrieved and parsed PDB file metadata for a protein analysis task, the controller recognized its broad utility and admitted it to shared memory (Figure S4). This allowed other teams to directly reuse the validated structure information, avoiding repeated downloads and inspections. This selective admission mechanism significantly reduces redundant work, mitigates error propagation, and guides agent teams towards more reliable reasoning trajectories, leading to faster convergence and higher quality outcomes.
