Multi-agent large language models solve complex tasks by coordinating several policies in a shared environment. However, existing reinforcement learning methods usually optimize each response or trajectory separately, even when several outputs jointly cause one state transition. Consequently, the update unit differs from the action executed by the system. To address this problem, we propose SRPO (Setwise Relative Policy Optimization), which treats the active set the minimal set of outputs consumed by one transition, as one multi-agent action. Specifically, SRPO combines member log-ratios into one cardinality-normalized set ratio, assigns one relative advantage, and clips the set once. This formulation unifies division of labor and joint co-evolution as actions with different set sizes. Experiments on mathematical reasoning and multi-turn search demonstrate one training interface for fixed, mixed, and dynamically routed workflows across four model scales, with the strongest macro-average results among the reported comparisons. Optimization diagnostics further characterize its stability under different event reductions and set sizes.
GAOKAO-Bench is introduced, an intuitive benchmark that employs questions from the Chinese GAOKAO examination as test samples, including both subjective and objective questions that contribute a robust evaluation benchmark for future large language models and offers valuable insights into the advantages and limitations of such models.

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.
Empirically, PRISM reduces the end-to-end time for data selection and model tuning to just 30% of conventional pipelines, and achieves this efficiency while simultaneously enhancing performance, surpassing models fine-tuned on the full dataset across eight multimodal and three language understanding benchmarks.
