SquidAgent: Parallelize Wisely, Coordinate Efficiently

Yexiong Lin, Shanshan Ye, Yu Yao et al. · 2026

LLM-based agents solve complex multi-step tasks, but sequential execution incurs substantial latency. In principle, parallelizing work across multiple agents should yield near-linear speedups. Yet existing parallel multi-agent systems often run slower than a single-agent baseline. We attribute this gap to two hidden co …

Scalable Minimal-Change Learning for Controllable Image Editing

Shuo Chen, Fengming Huang, Yu Yao et al. · 2026

Image editing should change only the attributes specified by an instruction while preserving everything else, yet current methods often make unintended changes. We treat this minimal-change principle as an optimization objective for instruction-based editing. Latent L1 regularization is a poor proxy for output locality …
