Swarm Telepathy: Prefill-Free KV-Cache Transfer Across Families
LLM multi-agent systems split work across agents that communicate through text. An agent summarizes its findings, another agent receives the text. This constrains communication to discrete tokens and costs redundant compute, limiting bandwidth and capabilities of multi-agent systems. Recent works demonstrate KV-cache transfer between LLMs but they either require the LLMs to be within the same family or cannot function across context, thus requiring the receiver to prefill text. We present SwaT (Swarm Telepathy), the first cross-family KV-cache transfer method that allows prefill-free communication in multi-family multi-agent systems. In an agent-to-agent communication setting, combining S...
