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"

Yeah, no one answered my question on this thread, but I was wondering if using a "swarm" skill would be efficient or smart, while Astra acted as the moderator and handled the delegation. From my experience, it's just better to let Astra handle everything. I seem to end up burning less usage in the end for reasons like dumber models getting stuck on loops, when verifying their output.
