Large Language Models (LLMs) achieve strong results on code generation, but single model inference remains brittle on tasks that require iterative refinement. Existing multi agent frameworks improve reliability, yet they often incur substantial token and latency overhead. We introduce PairCoder, a framework that brings pair programming to autonomous LLM collaboration. PairCoder assigns one model to code generation and the other to review, and switches roles when repeated errors suggest that the current interaction has stalled. Across 13 LLMs on HumanEval, PairCoder consistently improves over single model inference. On eight representative backbones, it reaches 91.0% pass@1 and improves over single model inference by up to 20.3% while reducing token usage by 40% to 70% relative to multi agent baselines. Many heterogeneous pairings also outperform both constituent models, suggesting that the framework generalizes across model families. These results position PairCoder as an effective and deployment conscious alternative to heavier multi agent systems.Code is available at https://github.com/yisuanwang/PairCoder

Large Language Model (LLM) agents have demonstrated considerable potential for social simulation, yet struggle to accurately model individual value systems. Most existing methods mechanically stitch survey responses into prompts, which suffer from semantic fragmentation, failing to capture the internal coherence of human value systems. The value systems of LLMs are typically assessed using static multiple-choice questions, which fail to evaluate the value orientation in real-world dialogue interactions. To address these issues, we propose ExpertIVS, a framework employing 14 Sociological Expert Agents to interpret World Values Survey (WVS) responses through structured professional perspectives, rather than direct responses concatenation. These expert agents perform deep semantic reconstruction to generate robust and internally consistent individual profiles. To evaluate the consistency between LLMs and individual value systems during dynamic interactions, we further introduce a multi-agent debate mechanism. Extensive experiments across 480 individuals from 12 countries demonstrate that ExpertIVS achieves 90.78% value restoration fidelity and significantly outperforms baselines in value generalization (+5.3%). Moreover, ExpertIVS exhibits strong personality discriminability and behavioral consistency, enabling a shift from mere response concatenation to genuine sociological role-playing.
