Abstract

Compared with individual agents, large language model based multi-agent systems have demonstrated great capabilities across a wide range of tasks, including code generation, mathematical reasoning, and planning, etc. Despite their impressive performance, the effectiveness and robustness of these systems heavily rely on their communication topology, which is often fixed or generated in a single step. This restricts fine-grained structural exploration and flexible composition, leading to excessive token consumption for simple tasks or performance bottlenecks for complicated ones. To address this challenge, we introduce RADAR, a redundancy-aware and query-adaptive generative framework that actively reduce communication overhead. Inspired by conditional discrete graph diffusion models, we formulate communication topology synthesis as a step-by-step generation process, guided by the effective size of the graph. Comprehensive experiments on six benchmarks demonstrate that RADAR consistently outperforms recent baselines, achieving higher accuracy, lower token consumption, and greater robustness across diverse scenarios. Our source code and data are available at https://anonymous.4open.science/r/RADAR-8430.
