我们提出了智能体联邦(Federation of Agents, FoA),一种分布式编排框架,将静态的多智能体协调转变为动态的、基于能力的协作。FoA引入了版本化能力向量(Versioned Capability Vectors, VCVs):一种机器可读的配置文件,通过语义嵌入使智能体能力可被搜索,从而使智能体能够宣传其能力、成本和局限性。我们的架构结合了三个关键创新:(1)语义路由,通过分片HNSW索引将任务与智能体匹配,并通过成本偏置优化来强制执行操作约束;(2)动态任务分解,其中兼容的智能体通过基于共识的合并,协作将复杂任务分解为子任务的DAG(有向无环图);(3)智能聚类,将处理相似子任务的智能体分组到协作通道中,进行k轮细化后再综合。FoA构建于MQTT的发布-订阅语义之上,以实现可扩展的消息传递,通过层次化能力匹配和高效的索引维护实现次线性复杂度。在HealthBench上的评估显示,与单模型基线相比,性能提升了13倍,其中聚类增强的协作对于需要多视角的复杂推理任务尤为有效。该系统可水平扩展,同时保持一致的性能,表明带有结构化协作的语义编排能够释放异构AI智能体联邦的集体智能。
英文摘要:
We present Federation of Agents (FoA), a distributed orchestration framework that transforms static multi-agent coordination into dynamic, capability-driven collaboration. FoA introduces Versioned Capability Vectors (VCVs): machine-readable profiles that make agent capabilities searchable through semantic embeddings, enabling agents to advertise their capabilities, cost, and limitations. Our aarchitecturecombines three key innovations: (1) semantic routing that matches tasks to agents over sharded HNSW indices while enforcing operational constraints through cost-biased optimization, (2) dynamic task decomposition where compatible agents collaboratively break down complex tasks into DAGs of subtasks through consensus-based merging, and (3) smart clustering that groups agents working on similar subtasks into collaborative channels for k-round refinement before synthesis. Built on top of MQTT,s publish-subscribe semantics for scalable message passing, FoA achieves sub-linear complexity through hierarchical capability matching and efficient index maintenance. Evaluation on HealthBench shows 13x improvements over single-model baselines, with clustering-enhanced laboration particularly effective for complex reasoning tasks requiring multiple perspectives. The system scales horizontally while maintaining consistent performance, demonstrating that semantic orchestration with structured collaboration can unlock the collective intelligence of heterogeneous federations of AI agents.
