Three Roles, One Model: Role Orchestration at Inference Time to Close the Performance Gap Between Small and Large Agents
Researchers demonstrate that inference-time scaffolding can double the performance of small 8B language models on complex tool-use tasks without additional training, by deploying the same frozen model in three specialized roles: summarization, reasoning, and code correction. On a single 24GB GPU, this approach enables an 8B model to match or exceed much larger systems like DeepSeek-Coder 33B, suggesting efficient deployment paths for capable AI agents on modest hardware.
