Existing multi-agent QA systems are trained in one of three ways: module by module, end to end, or in a global-local scheme. None of these adapts which agents run for a given question or models how agents depend on each… 3. **[QueueEDIT: Structural Self-Correction for Sequential Model Editing in LLMs](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2026-queueedit-structural-self-correction-sequential/)** *(2026)* Large language models still produce factual errors. Model editing can patch individual facts, but in sequential model editing (SME), where corrections arrive one after another, earlier edits may conflict with new ones and the model's general abilities can degrade. The authors propose QueueEDIT, which combines two… 4. **[Taming “Zombie” Agents: A Markov State-Aware Framework for Resilient Multi-Agent Evolution](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2026-taming-zombie-agents-markov-state/)** *(2026)* LLM-based multi-agent systems often save compute by pruning agents or links from the communication graph. These cuts are permanent. An agent that fails for a moment, through a hallucination or a knowledge gap, is removed even if it could have helped in later rounds. The authors call such agents "zombie" agents.
