Meta chief AI officer Alexandr Wang, speaking with YC CEO Garry Tan at Y Combinator Startup School, said Meta has seen internally that with the right agentic loop plus proper evaluation systems and metrics for agents to optimize, a swarm of agents can outperform a team of 100 engineers — and do so 'very handily, very easily.' A high-profile endorsement of agent orchestration and eval-driven development.
