Running 51 Concurrent Sub-Agents in a Single Chat Session
intellectronica · x · 2026-07-07
In a discussion started by @mattrickard on the maximum record for concurrent sub-agents during coding, @intellectronica replied that they simultaneously ran 51 sub-agents in a single session, utilizing the maximum of 2 layers of nesting allowed by their configuration.
This serves as a real-world data point for the intense usage of concurrent sub-task scheduling in coding agents, reflecting how sub-agents are currently being scaled in actual coding workflows.
