EP213: Why AI agents fail at negotiation

Title: Talk is Cheap, Communication is Hard: Dynamic Grounding Failures and Repair in Multi-Agent NegotiationSource: http://arxiv.org/abs/2605.01750v1Summary:This research identifies 'dynamic grounding' as a foundational and critical axis for multi-agent coordination, revealing it as a primary bottleneck that exceeds individual reasoning or simple information exchange. It proposes a novel framework for multi-turn repair and joint plan formation, offering a new paradigm for designing robust agentic reasoning loops in collaborative settings.
