CollabFlow: Recursive Self-Improvement of Agent Collaboration

arXiv:2609.38662v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recursive self-improvement (RSI) lets a system improve from its own outcomes; in LLM-based multi-agent systems, Agents refine one another within a task, and outcomes improve how they collaborate across tasks. However, existing multi-agent collaboration leaves this loop open: collaboration is pre-defined at the operator level, topology-only learning keeps verbatim exchange that propagates errors, and reward maximization on a system's own outcomes concentrates on a few teams. To address these challenges, we propose CollabFlow, an RSI system of Learned Agent Collaboration: a trainable Collab-Director constructs teams of complete Agents, a frozen executor runs them, and each round's outcomes retrain the director. Within each round, the edges of a collaboration graph carry protocols of Evidence-Conditioned Communication: a receiver adopts a differing answer only when the sender's evidence is stronger by a margin, so the director learns who communicates and how. Across rounds, we further propose Collaborative Trajectory Balance (CTB), a flow-based objective that credits each team once across its construction orders and targets a reward-proportional distribution over teams, so several good teams stay in play. We also bound how far this self-generated target moves between rounds, which shrinks as records accumulate. On twelve datasets, CollabFlow outperforms all baselines and keeps improving across rounds.
