The missing piece in AI swarm scaling curves: 10K-agent run data exists but isn't public
odysseus0z · x · 2026-09-22
Responding to Toby Ord's thread on how AI agent swarm power scales with size, odysseus0z argues the biggest missing piece is data at large swarm sizes: labs already ran 10K-agent swarms on the millennium math puzzle, so the scaling data exists — but it isn't public, leaving outsiders unable to plot the full curve. Frustrating, given the compute was already burned.
