Pact: Choreographic Language for Agentic Ecosystems

ai-technology · 2026-05-07

A new choreographic language called Pact extends protocol design for multi-agent systems by incorporating game theory. Pact allows reasoning about agent self-interest and decision policies in open, untrusted environments. It maps protocols to formal games, enabling designers to solve for optimal strategies. A preliminary implementation includes a bounded-rational solver. The work is presented in arXiv:2605.03143.
