Abstract
Recent work has explored optimizing LLM collaboration through Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL), but many approaches still rely on predefined workflows, limiting efficiency and scalability. Decentralized LLM collaboration is challenging because agents execute independently with limited communication, share a joint objective, and must infer useful information from communication traces. In this paper, we propose BCMAAC, a Belief-Conditioned Multi-Agent Actor-Critic method that maintains beliefs over contextual information and uses them to facilitate training. Experiments on Minecraft game-playing, web searching and tool-using tasks show that BCMAAC improves task performance and collaborative behavior compared to naive actor-critic baselines. The improvements are particularly pronounced in multi-turn tasks with richer contextual information, where belief modeling provides a clear advantage.
