The multi-modal model could help astronauts navigate craters, investigate ancient lava, and search for ice, as the US plans for a long-term lunar presence.

Adding more communication pathways between agents doesn’t necessarily improve multi-agent performance. In a controlled, reproducible experiment across 50 runs, recovery remained remarkably stable from 20% to 100% relationship density. But as the network became denser, the fraction of edges actually used fell sharply—revealing a gap between configured connectivity and behavioral connectivity.
