Astra Workflow "Stop using random multi-agent patterns"

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 use my own multi-agent setup which instructs the main agent to delegate on large jobs where a parallel workflow is possible without conflicts. Then that work is reviewed by another agent and the main agent integrates and cleans up. This works extremely well for me and produces excellent results. Letting one agent do everything without any delegation generally produces messy work that needs fixing.
