EvolveMAS: A Unified Self-Evolution Framework for Decentralized Multi-Agent Systems

arXiv:2610.34450v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Decentralized multi-agent systems (MAS) enable large language model agents to interact without centralized control. Agents need to adapt to other agents at test time and reuse accumulated experience to refine their interaction strategies for future interactions across cooperative, mixed-motive, and adversarial settings. However, existing approaches often develop adaptation mechanisms for particular interaction settings. This raises a central question: how can decentralized MAS support test-time adaptation and reliable experience reuse across interaction settings? We propose EvolveMAS, a unified self-evolution framework that supports experience-driven adaptation within and across episodes. EvolveMAS pairs each main agent with a dedicated MemoryAgent for test-time memory governance, which maintains isolated Structured Memory outside the main agent's reasoning context. EvolveMAS organizes adaptation into two complementary processes: Within-Episode Online Adaptation and Cross-Episode Knowledge Evolution. During Within-Episode Online Adaptation, MemoryAgent updates episodic, semantic, and working memory from interaction evidence to inform subsequent actions. During Cross-Episode Knowledge Evolution, the main agent uses memory and episode outcomes to distill reusable interaction knowledge comprising partner profiles and interaction strategies for subsequent episodes. Across five benchmarks and six evaluation configurations spanning the three interaction settings, EvolveMAS achieves the highest normalized average score of 77.2 among the compared methods. Ablations show that test-time memory governance and cross-episode knowledge reuse both improve performance. Interaction traces further illustrate how updated memory and distilled knowledge guide subsequent interactions. These results support experience-driven adaptation in decentralized MAS without updating model parameters.
