Multi-agent systems can be harder and worse than one agent
A produced worse results than an earlier setup in some tests. The system also became far more complex.
Even small safety features, such as , caused failures and took hours to fix. In an asynchronous , the agents sometimes did not coordinate with each other at all.
They moved in different directions, and the final output was poor. The main unresolved problem is how to coordinate multiple agents reliably and whether tools or libraries can reduce the added complexity.
Key points
- A sometimes performed worse than a setup.
- The multi-agent design was much more complex to build and maintain.
- Small like could break the workflow.
- In an asynchronous pipeline, agents sometimes failed to coordinate.
- The key need is better coordination and tools that reduce complexity.
