Large Language Model Applied in Multi-agent SystemA Survey

Abstract. The application of large language models (LLMs) in single-agent systems within complex environments has proven successful, prompting a growing interest in their use within multi-agent systems (MAS). Despite the impressive capabilities of LLMs, it remains unclear how they can be optimally integrated and utilized to empower agents in MAS. Understanding how to effectively leverage the advantages of LLMs to enhance agent performance is crucial. This survey provides a comprehensive overview of the application of LLMs in MAS, focusing on their impact on agent cooperation, reasoning, and adaptive abilities. Finally, we discuss future directions and open questions in this evolving field.
