OpenHospital: A Thing-in-itself Arena for Evolving and Benchmarking LLM-based Collective Intelligence

Large Language Model (LLM)-based Collective Intelligence (CI) presents a promising approach to overcoming the data wall and continuously boosting the capabilities of LLM agents. However, there is currently no dedicated arena for evolving and benchmarking LLM-based CI. To address this gap, we introduce OpenHospital, an interactive arena where physician agents can evolve CI through interactions with patient agents. This arena employs a data-in-agent-self paradigm that rapidly enhances agent capabilities and provides robust evaluation metrics for benchmarking both medical proficiency and system efficiency. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of OpenHospital in both fostering and quantifying CI.

Agent-Kernel: A MicroKernel Multi-Agent System Framework for Adaptive Social Simulation Powered by LLMs

Multi-Agent System (MAS) developing frameworks serve as the foundational infrastructure for social simulations powered by Large Language Models (LLMs). However, existing frameworks fail to adequately support large-scale simulation development due to inherent limitations in adaptability, configurability, reliability, and code reusability. For example, they cannot simulate a society where the agent population and profiles change over time. To fill this gap, we propose Agent-Kernel, a framework built upon a novel society-centric modular microkernel architecture. It decouples core system functions from simulation logic and separates cognitive processes from physical environments and action execution. Consequently, Agent-Kernel achieves superior adaptability, configurability, reliability, and reusability. We validate the framework's superiority through two distinct applications: a simulation of the Universe 25 (Mouse Utopia) experiment, which demonstrates the handling of rapid population dynamics from birth to death; and a large-scale simulation of the Zhejiang University Campus Life, successfully coordinating 10,000 heterogeneous agents, including students and faculty.

scAgent: Universal Single-Cell Annotation via a LLM Agent

Cell type annotation is critical for understanding cellular heterogeneity. Based on single-cell RNA-seq data and deep learning models, good progress has been made in annotating a fixed number of cell types within a specific tissue. However, universal cell annotation, which can generalize across tissues, discover novel cell types, and extend to novel cell types, remains less explored. To fill this gap, this paper proposes scAgent, a universal cell annotation framework based on Large Language Models (LLMs). scAgent can identify cell types and discover novel cell types in diverse tissues; furthermore, it is data efficient to learn novel cell types. Experimental studies in 160 cell types and 35 tissues demonstrate the superior performance of scAgent in general cell-type annotation, novel cell discovery, and extensibility to novel cell type.

Large-Small Model Collaboration for Enhancing Edge-Deployed Small Models

Edge devices host domain-specific small language models (SLMs) with limited resources, while private clouds offer larger LLMs. We propose G-Boost, an adaptive edge-cloud framework that improves a deployed SLM's task performance without parameter updates. It formulates reasoning as a tree search, choosing at each step between SLM-only inference and SLM-LLM logit fusion---which transfers domain knowledge from the SLM's adapted version to the cloud LLM without exposing private data. A process reward model guides Monte Carlo tree search to select beneficial collaboration steps dynamically. The edge runs the SLM and search controller; the cloud hosts the LLM and reward model, exchanging only current context. Evaluated on GSM8K and MATH-500 with Qwen2.5 and LLaMA2, G-Boost outperforms the SLM alone, static fusion, and fine-tuned baselines, gaining up to 8.6 and 10.7 percentage points over MCTS and Proxy-Tuning, respectively. Results confirm that step-level, reward-guided dynamic collaboration enhances reasoning and domain utilization for deployed edge SLMs.
