Streamlined Interagent Protocol (Slipstream): Semantic Quantization for Efficient Multi-Agent Coordination

2026 · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)

As multi-agent LLM systems scale, coordination bandwidth becomes a primary cost driver. This paper introduces Slipstream, a protocol that performs semantic quantization: mapping free-form messages onto a shared Universal Concept Reference (UCR) and transmitting compact …
