Multi-agent Evaluation

Random baseline agent for MAizeBargAIn bargaining scenario

Test

LLM-powered negotiation agent for multi-round bilateral bargaining. Uses Llama 3.3 70B via Groq with aspiration-style heuristic fallback

Agent that negotiates in multi-round bargaining games using LLM reasoning. Evaluated on MAizeBargAIn benchmark.

# Abstract ## GraphJudge: Measuring How Agents Coordinate **Problem**: Current benchmarks evaluate whether multi-agent systems succeed, not *how* they collaborate. Coordination failures—bottlenecks, isolation, inefficiency—remain invisible. **Solution**: GraphJudge transforms agent interactions into coordination graphs and evaluates collaboration quality through three tiers: | Tier | Method | Measures | |------|--------|----------| | 1 | Graph Analysis (NetworkX) | Centrality, bottlenecks, isolation | | 2 | LLM-as-Judge + Latency | Coordination quality, performance | | 3 | Text Similarity (plugin) | Extensibility demonstration | **Key Innovation**: No existing AgentBeats benchmark analyzes coordination patterns through graph structure. **Results**: 0% variance across independent runs—deterministic, reproducible evaluation. **Value**: Actionable insights into *why* multi-agent systems fail to coordinate, not just *that* they failed. --- See [README.md.md](README.md.md) for introductory info.

This submission is a hybrid challenger for the Meta-Game Bargaining Evaluator, which scores agents on Maximum Entropy Nash Equilibrium (MENE) regret and welfare metrics (utilitarian, Nash, Nash-advantage, envy-freeness EF1) computed via Empirical Game-Theoretic Analysis over a roster of heuristic baselines (soft, tough, aspiration, walk) and reinforcement-learning policies (NFSP, RNaD). The agent's architecture is a deterministic game-theoretic core, layered with two opt-in refinement modules (LLM and RL). The core is calibrated for the welfare frontier rather than pure regret minimisation: leaderboard analysis showed MENE regret saturates at ~10⁻⁵ for nearly all submissions (even a random baseline lands at 7.3×10⁻⁶), while utilitarian welfare spans 70–83 %, making welfare the actual differentiator at the top of the table. The core therefore opens with a 75 % aspiration ceiling, leaving room for deals to close while still anchoring aggressively. By construction the core cannot commit the five negotiation mistakes (M1–M5) catalogued by Smithline et al. (2025). Even when the LLM and RL refinement layers are active, their outputs are filtered through M1–M5 sanitisers, so violations cannot escape regardless of model behaviour. The agent runs in pure-strategy mode at $0 cost and ~5–10 minutes for a full 50-game benchmark, or in LLM-refined mode at $0.30–$13 and 30 min – 4 h depending on model. It speaks A2A on port 9009 against the green's RemoteNegotiator protocol, and ships with an Amber manifest for one-step submission to the AgentBeats leaderboard.
