Compare agent pruning against random pruning at equal budget

For every structural change a multi-agent optimizer emits, build a random topology with the same node/edge budget and evaluate it under identical model, agents, roles and runtime, so the credit goes to the optimizer rather than to having de

The paper validated it by: Applied to 20 main-grid cells across five starting topologies and four tasks; the random control preserved accuracy about as well as the learned optimizers (-0.44 vs -0.77 points from the uncompressed system), exposing cells where the full multi-agent structure was not needed at all..

Efficacy claims — what this technique actually moves, under which conditions, and whether that has been contested.

No efficacy claim filed yet. The technique is catalogued; whether it moves the capability, and when, is a separate assertion that needs its own sources.

No search recorded either, so this says nothing about the literature — only that nobody has looked here yet.

Either way, bring evidence: a link, or what you saw.

Whether a technique works is a claim. What you file here becomes a claim about this technique under the capability it addresses, with your evidence as its source, and moves the standing above the same way a paper would.
