## AI 摘要

一项研究从信息瓶颈视角揭示，多智能体系统并非越多越好，其价值在于为每个智能体提供更干净、更小的上下文。在18项测试中，当智能体间传递的摘要信息紧凑且完整时，多智能体系统持续优于单智能体，尤其对上下文拥挤时表现较弱的模型帮助显著。但当后续步骤需要精确的早期细节时，优势会缩小甚至逆转，因为更强的模型利用完整上下文的效果优于压缩后的信息。

## 正文

More agents are not automatically better； their value comes from giving each agent cleaner， smaller context.

It help mainly when short relay messages remove distracting context without dropping information later agents need.

The paper gives a testable reason why adding agents sometimes helps and sometimes hurts.

They fail when later agents need details that earlier agents removed while summarizing their work.

A single agent keeps every thought， action， and observation in 1 growing context， while separate agents pass compressed summaries.

The paper compared single agents， single agents following the same task split， and separate agents across 18 tests on 5 benchmarks and 3 model sizes.

Multi-agent systems consistently helped when handoffs could be compact and complete， especially for weaker models that struggled with crowded context.

Their advantage shrank or reversed when later steps needed exact earlier details， because stronger models used full context better than compressed messages.
