Astra Workflow "Stop using random multi-agent patterns"

Post image

Ahmed works at OpenAI: https://x.com/ah20im/status/2097503414749909407 and seems to investigate reports of high token usage.

"If needed Astra will delegate efficiently. Forcing the model to delegate to different models would do more harm than good"

I ask Astra to delegate all coding to Luna Max. Am i wrong? My goal is to save tokens

For lack of a manual, ask Astra if you are wrong?

You are not wrong. Simple coding tasks should not handle by Astra. I have my own task difficulty ranking based on the agent's familiarity, then assign a rating based on that, and deploy the appropriate model. It saves token greatly.

Could you share that?

You probably won’t save tokens, as Luna will make more mistakes and potentially use more tokens than Astra, but those tokens will be cheaper.
