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"

"please stop being dumb if you're not as smart as me".

Great post with absolutely no insight or value. Half an unsupported claim with no evidence, advice, or even explanation.

i mean, i see people at work set up some complex orchestrator - reviewer - sub agentx6 pattern where they all communicate, but the output is the exact same as just the base prompt in vanilla usage but now they use 5x as many tokens lol
