Do More Agents Help? Controlled and Protocol-Aligned Evaluation of LLM Agent Workflows

Yuhang Fu, Ruishan Fang, Jiaqi Shao et al.

Does adding more agents help an LLM workflow once compared systems share the same benchmark loader, tool access, answer contract, usage accounting, and trajectory logging? We introduce BenchAgent, an evaluation framework that places single-agent, fixed multi-agent (MAS), and evolving MAS workflows under one normalized execution and logging protocol. BenchAgent evaluates these substrate-internal workflows across ten reasoning, coding, and tool-use benchmarks with GPT-4.1, and separately reports a Protocol-Aligned External (PAE) GAIA study of a runtime-generated workflow. Under SI conditions, at most one of six tested MAS exceeds the matched single-agent anchor on benchmark-balanced average accuracy: EvoAgent lies within the Wilson one-run guidance, while the remaining five trail by 2.56-11.29 points and occupy more expensive accuracy-cost trade-offs. On the PAE GAIA snapshot, a Claude-Code-style runtime workflow reaches 66.72% overall and 69.23% on Level 3, more than 20 points above the strongest non-Claude baseline, Jarvis, a fixed MAS.

StoryLens: Preference-Aligned Story Rewriting via Context-Aware Narrative Enrichment

Hanwen Cui, Yuting Mei, Yuhang Fu et al.

Story rewriting aims to adapt existing narratives to diverse reader preferences while preserving plot consistency and narrative coherence. Unlike conventional work on style transfer, we argue that effective story rewriting demands context-aware narrative enrichment beyond surface-level stylistic adaptation. Our pilot human study shows that style adaptation alone provides only marginal gains in reader satisfaction (2.3%), while context-enhanced rewriting substantially improves user preference alignment (24.5%). Motivated by this, we introduce STORYLENSBENCH, a large-scale benchmark for preference-aligned story rewriting, comprising structured story books, multi-dimensional reader preference profiles, and ranked context-aware rewritten stories. Building on this benchmark, we propose STORYLENSEVAL, a reward model for estimating reader satisfaction over rewritten stories, and STORYLENSWRITER, a two-stage rewriting model combining supervised fine-tuning with GRPO-based reinforcement learning. We further establish a comprehensive evaluation framework covering fidelity, coherence, and reader satisfaction. Experimental results demonstrate that STORYLENSWRITER consistently outperforms strong generation and personalization baselines, highlighting the importance of context-aware narrative enrichment for personalized story rewriting.
