When Cloud Agents Meet Device Agents: Lessons from Hybrid Multi-Agent Systems
📰 ArXiv cs.AI
Learn how to design hybrid multi-agent systems combining cloud and device agents for efficient AI inference, and apply lessons from frontier large language models and small language models
Action Steps
- Design a hybrid multi-agent system by combining on-device small language models (SLMs) with cloud-hosted large language models (LLMs)
- Evaluate the performance of SLMs and LLMs in terms of cost, accuracy, and latency
- Configure the system to dynamically switch between on-device and cloud inference based on task requirements
- Test the system's ability to handle a wide range of tasks and adapt to changing conditions
- Apply lessons from frontier LLMs to improve the performance of SLMs and the overall hybrid system

Title: When Cloud Agents Meet Device Agents: Lessons from Hybrid Multi-Agent Systems
Abstract:
arXiv:2605.30102v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The design space of agentic AI inference spans two extremes: frontier large language models (LLMs), typically hosted in the cloud and offering strong performance across a wide range of tasks at substantially high cost, and more cost-efficient small language models (SLMs), which are amenable to on-device inference. Hybrid multi-agent systems (MASs) combining on-device and cloud models offer a promising middle ground, but they also introduce a comp
