Multi-round Vision-Language Model (VLM) Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) offer powerful reasoning capabilities but suffer from prohibitive costs due to static panel designs, where all N agents communicate at every T round. This approach is fundamentally inefficient, as it ignores the context-dependent and diminishing marginal utility of specific agents. To address this, we propose Nash-CredMAS, an economic framework that transforms agent selection into a dynamic resource allocation game. Unlike heuristic routing or one-time pruning, our method operates in two phases: (1) Offline Causal Value Learning, where we employ a doubly-robust (AIPW) estimator to train a context-aware value function from biased interaction logs, effectively learning the true marginal contribution of agents; and (2) Online Dynamic Auctions, where agents bid for communication slots based on their predicted utility. We formulate the inference-time selection as a submodular maximization problem under budget constraints, theoretically guaranteeing a (1 - 1/e)-approximation of the optimal coalition via a greedy strategy. Empirically, Nash-CredMAS achieves state-of-the-art results on challenging benchmarks, including MMMU and V*-Bench, while reducing token consumption by over 25% compared to static baselines. The system naturally converges to an economic equilibrium where agents actively remain silent when their marginal value does not justify the cost.
Diffusion Large Language Models (dLLMs) have emerged as a promising non-autoregressive paradigm for text generation, offering parallel decoding and bidirectional context modeling. However, aligning dLLMs with reinforcement learning (RL) remains a significant challenge, as the marginal likelihood of sequences in masked diffusion is typically intractable, rendering standard policy gradient methods unstable or computationally prohibitive. In this work, we propose **Diffusion-Gibbs Alignment (DGA)**, a novel variational framework that reformulates RL for dLLMs as a distribution matching problem. DGA bypasses the explicit computation of log-probabilities by leveraging a learned energy function to model the relative quality of samples. The optimization is decoupled into two stable steps: (1) contrastive energy ranking to capture global reward structures, and (2) weighted diffusion alignment to update the policy via importance sampling. Empirically, DGA establishes a new state-of-the-art across logical reasoning (Sudoku, Countdown), mathematical reasoning (GSM8K, Math500), and code generation (HumanEval, MBPP) benchmarks. DGA offers a novel variational perspective for dLLM alignment, achieving better performance while simultaneously enhancing training speed and memory efficiency.

This paper introduces DrDiff, a novel framework for long-text generation that overcomes the efficiency-quality trade-off through three core technologies. First, we design a dynamic expert scheduling mechanism that intelligently allocates computational resources during the diffusion process based on text complexity, enabling more efficient handling of text generation tasks of varying difficulty. Second, we introduce a Hierarchical Sparse Attention (HSA) mechanism that adaptively adjusts attention patterns according to a variety of input lengths, reducing computational complexity from O(n2) to O(n) while maintaining model performance. Finally, we propose a Semantic Anchor States (SAS) module that combines with DPM-solver++ to reduce diffusion steps, significantly improving generation speed. Comprehensive experiments on various long-text generation benchmarks demonstrate the superiority of our DrDiff over the existing SOTA methods.
