Multi-agent RL that only expands conditional compute is 'just' another MoE
1a3orn · x · 2026-09-17
Continuing the RLVR debate, 1a3orn argues that swarm/multi-agent RL training which 'just' radically expands conditional compute buys speed but is only as significant as MoE-style architectures. Isolated long chains-of-thought, however, could radically increase creativity — some solutions may need isolation from others — in which case they'd be as big a deal as RLVR itself.
