Abstract
Large language models are increasingly deployed as complex agentic systems that scale with task complexity. While prior work has extensively explored model- and system-level scaling, algorithm- and task-level scaling remain largely unaddressed, constraining the full potential of agentic systems. At the algorithm level, allocating additional inference-time computation can enhance workflow capacity but introduces cross-path redundancy: overlapping computations across multiple reasoning branches. At the task level, complex tasks can be decomposed into subproblems and delegated across multiple agents for improved scalability and parallelism. However, existing infrastructures' scheduling is unaware of the existence of multiple agents, missing opportunities to optimize resource allocation. We propose Hive, a multi-agent infrastructure that enables algorithm- and task-level scaling. Hive features a description frontend that captures per-agent behavior and supports test-time scaling algorith
