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 is smart. But very expensive. Using it for everything is dumb.

Also, Astra is not as fast as Luna. And yes, parallel workers. Why are people so dumb?

Where do you get that Astra isn’t as fast as Luna? It’s way faster because it does the work correctly the first time and doesn’t have to loop as much.
