Agents
Multi-agent system
Multiple specialized agents collaborating to solve a task.
Instead of one agent with twelve tools, a multi-agent system splits the work into multiple smaller agents that each have a tight remit and communicate through a shared coordinator. This is easier to reason about, easier to debug, and usually cheaper to run (each sub-agent can use a smaller model). The pattern works best when sub-tasks are clearly bounded.
