While Large Language Model-based Multi-Agent Systems (LLM-MAS) demonstrate remarkable capabilities in solving complex tasks by orchestrating specialized agents and external tools, the implicit trust in tool outputs creates a critical attack surface. Existing tool attacks are limited by domain specificity or fixed and static templates. To address these challenges, we propose Evo-Attacker, which formulates the tool attack as a self-evolving, memory-augmented reinforcement learning process. Evo-Attacker constructs a dynamic attack memory and employs deliberative reasoning to retrieve adversarial patterns and strategize modifying interventions at critical moments. Furthermore, we introduce Attack-Flow GRPO to optimize intermediate reasoning steps via terminal outcomes, addressing the long-horizon credit assignment challenge. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate that Evo-Attacker consistently outperforms baselines, highlighting its generalization and evolutionary capabilities and the urgent need for defensive tool safeguards.

Current LLM role-playing systems model persona as a monolithic, static attribute, conflating identity consistency with emotional rigidity. This leads to either robotic repetition or catastrophic persona drift under sustained interaction. We introduce Dynamic Persona Coherence, a framework that decouples Identity-Layer Stability (time-invariant traits) from Adaptive-Layer Appropriateness (history-dependent psychological evolution). We operationalize this through the L/M/S Psychological State Model, which represents persona dynamics across long-term identity, mid-term meaning/stress accumulation, and short-term affect. On top of this state representation, a closed-loop alignment system comprising an automated evaluator (Persona Consistency Critic, PCC), a selective repository (Persona Case Repository, PCR), and a trajectory-adjusting corrector (Persona Drift Suppressor, PDS) enables autonomous coherence repair. Experiments on GPT-4o, Claude-3.5-Sonnet, and DeepSeek-V3.2 demonstrate consistent improvements (+16–84% PCC gains).

Open-domain dialogue systems have made promising progress in recent years. While the state-of-the-art dialogue agents are built upon large-scale social media data and large pre-trained models, there is no guarantee these agents could also perform well in fast-growing scenarios, such as live streaming, due to the bounded transferability of pre-trained models and biased distributions of public datasets from Reddit and Weibo, etc. To improve the essential capability of responding and establish a benchmark in the live open-domain scenario, we introduce the LiveChat dataset, composed of 1.33 million real-life Chinese dialogues with almost 3800 average sessions across 351 personas and fine-grained profiles for each persona. LiveChat is automatically constructed by processing numerous live videos on the Internet and naturally falls within the scope of multi-party conversations, where the issues of Who says What to Whom should be considered. Therefore, we target two critical tasks of response modeling and addressee recognition and propose retrieval-based baselines grounded on advanced techniques. Experimental results have validated the positive effects of leveraging persona profiles and larger average sessions per persona. In addition, we also benchmark the transferability of advanced generation-based models on LiveChat and pose some future directions for current challenges.
