TL;DR
Experiments and a user study demonstrate that structured multi-agent deliberation is a promising direction for improving cultural fidelity and narrative coherence in culturally sensitive, low-resource artistic domains.
Abstract
This paper presents ViFA-Council, a three-stage multi-agent framework that employs multiple large language models (LLMs) to tackle two culturally complex generative tasks: image outpainting and educational story generation based on traditional Vietnamese folk paintings. Current single-model generative pipelines frequently struggle with stylistic hallucinations and cultural misrepresentations because they lack mechanisms for cross-model critique. ViFA-Council addresses this challenge by orchestrating collaboration among GPT-4o, Gemini 3.1 Pro, and Claude Sonnet 4.6. It enforces rigorous cultural constraints through structured agent deliberation. This deliberation is mediated by task-specific JSON schemas that effectively bridge natural language discussions with diffusion-based image synthesis using Banana Pro. Experiments and a user study demonstrate that structured multi-agent deliberation is a promising direction for improving cultural fidelity and narrative coherence in culturally sensitive, low-resource artistic domains. The source code and data are released at https://github.com/DanielNguyen-05/ViFA-Council.
The results indicate that software engineering work practices are chosen opportunistically, adapted and configured to provide value under the constrains imposed by the startup context.

This work investigates the possibilities of using LLMs in a resume screening setting via a document retrieval framework that simulates job candidate selection and finds that the MTEs are biased, significantly favoring White-associated names in 85% of cases and female-associated names in only 11.1% of cases.
StudentSim is a research system for evaluating and improving AI tutoring tools before they are tested with learners. It models how individuals may engage with tutors, giving feedback to improve tutor performance across subjects like chess, writing, and mathematics.

Students in MIT’s Concourse program delve deeply into the human condition, debate challenging questions, and learn to develop judgment about issues that can’t be quantified.
Training AI agents with reinforcement learning can be challenging because their tools, context, and decision-making are managed by complex frameworks. Agent Lightning connects existing agents to RL training, making it easier to improve them without rebuilding them. The post Agent Lightning v1.0: A 3,500-Line Lightweight Agentic RL Framework for Training Agents with Real Harnesses appeared first on Microsoft Research.
