MARC v1: An Open-Source Multi-Agent Framework for Clinical AI Reasoning and Coordination
Researchers introduced MARC v1, an open-source framework that orchestrates specialized agents to perform clinical reasoning tasks, replacing monolithic LLM prompts. It includes a Decomposer that auto-generates agent prompts from plain-language descriptions, removing manual prompt engineering.
- MARC v1 replaces monolithic LLM prompting with deterministic multi‑agent orchestration for clinical reasoning.
- The Decomposer module automatically creates agent‑specific prompts from plain‑language descriptions.
- All intermediate outputs are exposed, enabling step‑wise failure analysis and greater transparency.
- The framework is open-source and compatible with both API‑based and local model deployments.
The MARC (Multi-Agent Reasoning and Coordination) framework is released as an open-source toolkit aimed at improving clinical AI workflows. Instead of relying on a single large language model prompt, MARC coordinates a set of role‑specialized agents that handle extraction, reasoning, answer generation, and evaluation in separate stages.
Each agent receives explicit context and produces intermediate outputs that can be inspected, allowing developers to pinpoint failures at specific steps. The system also adds a Decomposer module that translates a plain‑language task description into tailored prompts for each agent, eliminating the need for manual prompt engineering.
MARC supports both API‑based and local model deployments, making it adaptable for research labs and healthcare providers. By providing deterministic orchestration and traceability, the framework aims to increase reliability and transparency in AI‑driven clinical decision support.
The authors have made the code publicly available on GitHub, encouraging community contributions and extensions to other medical domains.
