Coordination is a tax. You don't want to chase this.

Everyone who is doing community of models via message passing is losing the game right now. Every single case of gas town I've seen could be refactored into a single agent loop with a well curated set of tools.

I think designing the tools is the hardest part in doing this AI harness/agent thing correctly. If you feel inclined to create an entirely new role in the system, it's likely you couldn't figure out a clean way to make two tools work together. This conflict is not resolved simply by moving the two tools to two different agents. This merely hides the old problem inside a new one.

Interesting article but I don’t understand this:

    When they can eventually work directly with one another rather than sitting inside human hierarchies, we will be dealing with a genuinely new kind of economic input.

What does AI working directly with one another mean? I don’t think it’s anything new - it’s the same AI working on a long horizon task. A big part of the article works on the assumption that this is qualitatively new way AI can work but I see it as a human operating an AI agent that does long horizon task that internally can spawn multiple subagents (but this part is abstracted from the user who only gives it a prompt).

Unless there are domain specific models, what am I missing?
