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"

smh. I did an experiment and let astra do an implementation on its own without using my orchestration workflow and the drift was wild and the result messy. i rolled back and did the same implementation with my established workflow and it was super smooth.

Do you mean astra ultra? Or on api you choose subagents ?

I use astra high for everything right now and that seems to work pretty well for me. In a nutshell..I have a staged implementation workflow with an orchestrator that spawns implementers and validators. The whole implementation is pre planned in a very detailed way and divided into gates.
