More Is Not Always Better: Cross-Component Interference in LLM Agent Scaffolding
Researchers demonstrate that stacking more components into LLM agent systems doesn't improve performance and often degrades it due to cross-component interference. A comprehensive factorial study across 32 configurations shows optimal agent design is task-dependent and model-scale dependent, with the fully-equipped system consistently underperforming smaller, curated subsets by up to 79%.
