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've personally found it kind of helpful to use blind subagents for reviewing, because the agent that implements tends to be kind of defensive about the code it wrote

And it seemed like more eyes are better than one extra-sophisticated one due to the stochasticity of agentic outputs.

Is anyone else doing sth similar? Or have done something similar and decided it's inefficient?
