Title: Scaling Small Agents Through Strategy Auctions

Abstract:
arXiv:2602.02751v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Small language models are increasingly viewed as a promising, cost-effective approach to agentic AI, with proponents claiming they are sufficiently capable for agentic workflows. However, while smaller agents can closely match larger ones on simple tasks, it remains unclear how their performance scales with task complexity, when large models become necessary, and how to better leverage small agents for long-horizon workloads.
