Abstract

The increasingly popular agentic AI paradigm promises to harness the power of multiple, general-purpose large language model (LLM) agents to collaboratively complete complex tasks. While many agentic AI systems utilize predefined workflows or agent roles in order to reduce complexity, ideally these agents would be truly autonomous, able to achieve emergent collaboration even as the number of collaborating agents increases. Yet in practice, such unstructured interactions can lead to redundant work and cascading failures that are difficult to interpret or correct. In this work, we study multi-agent systems composed of general-purpose LLM agents that operate without predefined roles, control flow, or communication constraints, relying instead on emergent collaboration to solve problems. We introduce the Dynamic Interaction Graph (DIG), which captures emergent collaboration as a time-evolving causal network of agent activations and interactions. DIG makes emergent collaboration observable and explainable for the first time, enabling real-time identification, explanation, and correction of collaboration-induced error patterns directly from agents' collaboration paths. Thus, DIG fills a critical gap in understanding how general LLM agents solve problems together in truly agentic multi-agent systems.
