Cloud-hosted models such as GPT-5 give strong answers, but sending them raw queries can reveal confidential research or legal intent. Purely local models keep data private but answer less well. The authors propose GTKA, a client-side, semantic-level… 2. **[From Individual Excellence to Collective Sustainability: Seeking Strategic Equilibrium in Proactive Multi-Agent Teams](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2026-individual-excellence-collective-sustainability-seeking/)** *(2026)* The paper addresses a weakness of proactive LLM agents that coordinate heterogeneous research teams. When they optimize only for immediate task accuracy, they keep sending work to the strongest member, typically the PI, while junior researchers stay idle. The authors call this the Individual-centric Trap.
