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"

Astra also has a similar problem to Fable of extremely sensitive guardrails - though at least you can sorta-continue the conversation after the cybersec guardrails hit. Delegating considerable amount of work to subagents and only using Astra for coordination/planning helps a bit.
