AgenC defaults to one agent after papers found multi-agent swarms underperformed
tetsuoai · x · 2026-07-23
AgenC says its swarm design is shaped by two papers: one on asynchronous software engineering agents and another on scaling agent systems.
The takeaway is deliberately anti-hype: parallel agents sharing one checkout can interfere with each other, and in sequential PlanCraft-style tasks, multi-agent setups underperformed a single-agent mean. AgenC therefore gives each parallel writer a spawn-unique Git worktree, returns integration refs only for committed, clean, independently verifiable work, and defaults /swarm to a single agent unless the task is explicitly parallel or independent.
