IgorCarron · x · 2026-09-22
Dimitris Papail explains the mechanism behind collaborating agents: a final solution needing N breakthroughs forces non-communicating agents to find all N serially, while collaboration broadcasts each breakthrough instantly — comparing the sum over agents of times to N breakthroughs vs. the sum of per-breakthrough minima. Igor Carron notes this mirrors Balázs Kégl's competition-collaboration mechanism from data science competitions.
