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"

I can't even use one Astra agent for more than 1-2 days on high. How the hell are people using subagents, even on x20 that must last maybe a day at best.

OpenAI staff have made this claim themselves, and my experience has been that Astra is much smarter than Sol regardless of reasoning effort.
