Many Agents, Many Problems (The Agents Season, Episode 8)

About this episode

This episode explores how networks of AI agents can collaborate and the complexities involved in multi-agent systems.

Whether you work best solo or thrive in a team, you know collaboration is complicated — and it turns out AI agents face the same tensions. This episode dives into multi-agent systems, exploring how networks of AI agents can overcome the individual limitations of a single model, and what the research says about when collaboration actually helps versus when it just adds noise. Think scaling laws, but for teamwork. --- Website: https://lineardigressions.com Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/linear-digressions/id941219323 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1JdkD0ZoZ52KjwdR0b1WoT Substack: https://substack.com/@lineardigressions
