New Conductor model learns to orchestrate LLMs for better performance

Researchers have developed a "Conductor" model trained with reinforcement learning to coordinate multiple large language models. This Conductor model learns to establish communication pathways and craft specific instructions for worker LLMs, optimizing their collaboration. A 7-billion parameter Conductor demonstrated superior performance on benchmarks like LiveCodeBench and GPQA, surpassing individual models and achieving state-of-the-art results. The system can adapt to various open and closed-source agents and even uses itself as a worker for recursive improvements. AI

IMPACT Introduces a novel RL-based approach for orchestrating multiple LLMs, potentially improving performance on complex reasoning tasks.

    Learning to Orchestrate Agents in Natural Language with the Conductor

    arXiv:2512.04388v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Powerful large language models (LLMs) from different providers have been expensively trained and finetuned to specialize across varying domains. In this work, we introduce a new kind of Conductor model trained with reinforcement…
