Multi-agent Systems Weekly AI News

October 13 - October 21, 2025

This weekly update brings exciting news about AI agents working together in what experts call multi-agent systems. These are groups of AI programs that team up to solve complex problems, and this week showed major breakthroughs in how businesses and researchers are using them.

The biggest announcement came from Oracle, a major technology company. On October 15, Oracle launched a new AI Agent Marketplace where businesses can find ready-made AI helpers. Oracle also announced that over 32,000 experts have been trained to build these AI agents, and companies can now use AI models from many different providers like OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic in one place. This makes it easier for businesses to pick the best AI tools for their specific needs.

Researchers also made exciting progress this week. A study featured on October 15 showed AI agents working together like a team of scientists. These AI systems successfully rediscovered cancer biomarkers and even proposed new ideas for treatments that human experts found valuable. The AI agents organized themselves into research networks and worked together to make discoveries, showing they can do more than just follow instructions.

In healthcare, Hackensack Meridian Health announced they are using AI agent teams to improve patient care. Other companies are seeing impressive results too. Some insurance companies cut their claim handling time by 40% using AI agents that work together to review documents and make decisions. In customer service, companies reduced manual work by up to 60% with AI agents handling tickets automatically.

Experts say 2025 is becoming the year when AI agents move from experiments to real business tools. Companies that use these systems now are seeing 20% to 30% faster workflows and significant cost savings. The shift is happening because these AI systems can now adapt to changes, learn from their work, and coordinate with each other without humans controlling every step.
