AgentForesight: Online Auditing for Early Failure Prediction in Multi-Agent Systems

Researchers introduce AgentForesight, a framework for detecting errors in LLM-based multi-agent systems in real-time during task execution rather than after failure occurs. The system uses a compact 7B-parameter model trained on a curated dataset of 2,000 agentic trajectories and outperforms GPT-4.1 and DeepSeek-V4-Pro in identifying failure points, enabling intervention before cascading errors compromise entire task chains.

When Evidence is Sparse: Weakly Supervised Early Failure Alerting in Dialogs and LLM-Agent Trajectories

Researchers present a weakly supervised approach for detecting dialog and agent failures early in their execution, introducing an attention-based predictor that identifies sparse failure evidence and pairs it with a preference-conditioned stopping policy. The method achieves 3-42% improvement over existing approaches while reducing training costs by 1-3 orders of magnitude across five benchmarks.

Beyond Confidence: Rethinking Self-Assessments for Performance Prediction in LLMs

Researchers propose using multidimensional self-assessment based on cognitive appraisal theory to predict LLM failures more reliably than confidence alone. Testing across 12 models and 38 tasks, they find effort and ability dimensions consistently outperform confidence, with task type determining which dimension proves most predictive.
