MiniRep: Robust Reputation-Based Aggregation for Multi-Agent Debate
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.39297v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous agents powered by large language models (LLMs) are rapidly evolving into an open agentic ecosystem. To support trustworthy collaboration, industry initiatives increasingly assess agent reputation from past behavior and provide performance leaderboards. However, reputation derived from past performance may not reliably predict an agent's behavior on new tasks, particularly when malicious agents can adapt their behavior and influence other agents during collaboration. We study reputation in multi-agent debate (MAD), where multiple agents

Why it matters
The value of this work lies as much in how it was tested as in the claim itself. Sample design, baselines, uncertainty and replication help separate a laboratory result from real-world impact.
