In a 39-minute speech, Kimi CEO Yang Zhilin proposed the following: - Instead of continuously making a "smarter agent" even stronger, the focus should shift to a multi-agent approach of "one manager plus a thousand workers." - He believes many agents will quickly hit a capability wall, and completing real-world tasks actually requires **agent swarms**, **long context**, and applying RL to each sub-agent. - This recap highlights his vision for the future trajectory of agents, rather than announcing any specific product feature updates.
