Multi-agent systems' real edge: latency via parallel subagents, not token efficiency
xeophon · x · 2026-11-12
rishidesai2 asks what multi-agent systems actually beat single agents at: the big win is latency via parallel subagents, at the cost of higher token consumption — and asks if any benchmark shows multi-agent clearly winning at equal token budget. xeophon replies he's seen none, but solving Navier-Stokes in a week instead of a year is still awesome.
