In multi-agent architectures, multiple agents each hold independent context windows and cannot directly "see" each other's complete reasoning process, and coordination cost rises roughly linearly with the number of roles.

UnverifiedIn multi-agent architectures, sub-agents derived from an orchestrator may inherit or even expand permissions that were not explicitly granted, which is an agent variant of the confused deputy problem74% similarVerifiedA well-designed single agent is often far superior in cost and latency to a loosely structured multi-agent system while delivering comparable task performance; a multi-agent architecture is only worth introducing when the task genuinely requires division of labor and collaboration.74% similarVerifiedMulti-agent systems exhibit non-stationarity, as the optimal policy for each agent depends on the behavior of the other agents.74% similarUnverifiedCompared with monolithic Agents, multi-agent architectures have the advantage of division of labor, but the cost is that system behavior is no longer a single causal chain, but a complex network formed by interwoven multiple decision points.73% similarVerifiedAssigning each agent a dedicated capability boundary and prompt often outperforms having a single model handle everything, a principle that is connected to the effectiveness of chain-of-thought prompting.73% similar
