Merged summary

TL;DR - StateBridge enables LLM agents to communicate through continuous hidden states using a training-free, closed-form alignment method. It avoids text’s information bottleneck and learned projectors while improving performance across reasoning, coding, and question-answering tasks.

  • Aligns sender final-layer states with the receiver’s input space via an orthogonal transformation.
  • Uses norm calibration and vocabulary anchoring to maintain compatibility with pretrained input distributions.
  • Prepends aligned states to the receiver’s input as a continuous prefix.
  • Achieved best or tied-best results on 22 of 26 model-task pairs across four models from two families.
