Optimizing communication topology in LLM–based multi-agent system is critical for enabling collective intelligence. Existing methods mainly rely on spatio-temporal interaction paradigms, where the sequential execution of multi-round dialogues incurs high latency and computation. Motivated by the recent insights that evaluation and debate mechanisms can improve problem-solving in multi-agent systems, we propose TopoDIM, a framework for one-shot Topology generation with Diverse Interaction Modes. Designed for decentralized execution to enhance adaptability and privacy, TopoDIM enables agents to autonomously construct heterogeneous communication without iterative coordination, achieving token efficiency and improved task performance. Experiments demonstrate that TopoDIM reduces total token consumption by 46.41% while improving average performance by 1.50% over state-of-the-art methods. Moreover, the framework exhibits strong adaptability in organizing communication among heterogeneous agents. Code is available at: https://github.com/Sundiasy/TopoDIM.

Deep research agents augment large language models with external tools to answer complex, long-horizon questions through multi-turn reasoning. Learning from prior experience is crucial for continual improvement, yet existing methods either retrieve verbose task-specific traces that burden decision-making, or distill procedural skills that remain decoupled from downstream policy adaptation. We propose APEx, a hierarchical experience utilization framework that organizes interaction history into instance-level trajectory memories and category-level procedural skills, and couples them through a closed-loop architecture of Executor, Distiller, and Planner. The three modules are optimized via a three-stage alternating GRPO training paradigm, enabling reward-guided skill distillation rather than fixed-prompt generation. At test time, distilled skills serve as procedural priors for online Planner adaptation through skill-guided test-time reinforcement learning, allowing ground-truth-free self-improvement with skill-alignment regularization to prevent policy drift. Experiments on 7 benchmarks demonstrate that APEx achieves state-of-the-art performance, surpassing GPT-5.4 by 14.7 points and the strongest memory-augmented baseline by 3.0 points.
