A tiny policy trims costly agent coordination

What changedThe authors replace selected generative routing and review steps with a lightweight decision model in multi-agent pipelines. The approach cut generative tokens by 12.7 to 54.6 percent while staying within 1.34 accuracy points and lowering latency in seven of eight settings.

A method diagram shows a lightweight policy handling routing and review decisions in a multi-agent system.
