ICML 2026: Can You Trust the Orchestrator? Entropy Dynamics Reveal Multi-Agent System Vulnerabilities

TL;DR

  • Multi-agent system failures are primarily caused by the orchestrator, not individual agents.
  • Increasing task complexity and information pressure degrade the orchestrator's decision-making.
  • Scheduling entropy dynamics can diagnose system instability and orchestrator uncertainty.
  • Inverse Workflow Generation (IWG) enables process-level evaluation by creating verifiable task environments.
  • Model strength does not guarantee effective orchestrator capability; process-level evaluation is crucial.
