Single Agent Skills vs Multi-Agent Systems Efficiency
By
–
Can a single agent with skills replace multi-agent systems? Multi-agent systems work well for complex reasoning where specialized agents collaborate through explicit communication. But this incurs substantial computational overhead in tokens and latency. This new research
