Multi-Agent Parallelism
Launching multiple AI agent instances simultaneously to handle subsets of the same task, which requires addressing issues such as task decomposition, conflict avoidance, and result aggregation.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The actual effect of multi-agent parallelism depends heavily on how splittable the task is; for chain tasks with strong dependencies, parallelism may introduce conflicts.
Running multiple agents simultaneously easily triggers vendors' concurrent request and tokens-per-minute quota limits, leading to rate limiting.
If multiple agents modify the same codebase in parallel, file conflicts and state inconsistency may arise, which need to be avoided through independent working directories, branch isolation, or merge strategies.
