A new paper from Apple Machine Learning Research reveals that multi-agent Large Language Model (LLM) teams struggle to leverage expert knowledge, underperforming individual experts by up to 41.1% on ML benchmarks. Unlike human teams, these AI teams tend to average expert and non-expert opinions rather than appropriately weighting expertise, a phenomenon termed "integrative compromise." This behavior worsens with larger team sizes and presents a trade-off between alignment and effective expertise utilization, highlighting a significant gap in how self-organizing multi-agent systems harness collective intelligence.
