SwarmEvolve: Latent Agent Swarms Reach Math Optimization in 3-8 Minutes
First merged summary.
SwarmEvolve uses latent-space agent swarms sharing KV caches to solve 21 math problems in median 3-8 minutes.
SwarmEvolve deploys swarms of low-cost LLM agents that reason directly in latent space by sharing KV caches instead of decoding to text. A novelty filter measures hidden-state distances to preserve distinct ideas while a summarizer agent enables natural crossover. The approach outperforms AlphaEvolve on 21 mathematical discovery tasks, achieving highest scores faster than prior methods that take up to 60 minutes.
- Median time 3-8 minutes to top scores on 21 problems
- Hundreds of low-cost agents per evolutionary round
- Novelty filter uses direct hidden-state vector distances
- KV cache sharing enables efficient idea crossover
- Improves on AlphaEvolve with Qwen3 8B
- Applies to mathematical discovery and scientific computing
