Swarm of 8 agents beats single agent in autoresearch harness, converging 4x faster
ricklamers · x · 2026-10-29
@ryanirl compared a small swarm of 8 agents vs a single agent inside an autoresearch harness on the same task.
The convergence curves show the swarm (n=8) pushing dev median error below the 8.47 reference line within 3 hours, while the single agent (n=1) stalls around 9.5-9.8 even after 12 hours. The swarm wins on both speed and final accuracy — a直观 empirical case for multi-agent collaboration over single-agent long runs.
