Pain Points of Unpredictable Costs and Evaluation in Multi-Agent Deployment
Super-Season-1742 · reddit · 2026-08-07
A developer shared a recurring headache when building multi-agent systems: it's hard to reason about workflow costs, latency, and model selection per step until the system is actually running, by which point the architectural design is often locked in.
This backwards approach forces teams to commit to a design before knowing the bill. The author asked the community for solutions—whether to prototype, measure, and redesign, or just accept the costs. Current observability tools mostly target post-deployment, leaving a gap for pre-shipping evaluation.
