Discussion: Scaling Compute for Agent Teams May Be the New Scaling Law
burny_tech · x · 2026-09-22
burnytech shared Zach Weiner's take and marveled at "swarms, civilizations, and galaxies of agents": rather than simply throwing more compute at a single agent, allocate that compute to a team of agents—possibly the shape of a new scaling law. Based on their observations, team-based agents not only perform better but can often solve problems that a single agent could never crack. This is an intuitive judgment about the multi-agent collaboration approach, with no experimental data to back it yet, but it points to a direction in agent orchestration worth validating: shifting the unit of scaling from the model to the organization.
