A new paper from the Stanford AI Systems Lab formalizes why naive multi-agent pipelines fail in complex analytics.

The authors highlight that standard multi-agent chains degrade context at every handoff. To solve this, they introduce the Control Plane Pattern, utilizing deterministic signal queues, a single centralized reasoning agent, and Knowledge Graphs to replace brittle handoffs.

According to the paper, this bounded, graph-constrained operating system reduces investigation latency from 4 weeks to 30 minutes, cuts token usage by 10x, and achieves zero context handoff decay.
