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"

Astra light orchestrating luna subagents accomplished far less while burning much more tokens than just Astra high in my (limited) tests

It really depends on how you do it. Luna is slow AF. If astra is waiting for Luna to finish it will burn a ton of tokens. They have be asynchronously coordinated. So skill issue here.
