This strikes me as odd. Aren’t all these agents pushing tokens through LLMs? The number of milliseconds needed to instantiate a Python object and the number of kilobytes it takes up in memory seem irrelevant in this context.

I'm really curious what simple workflows they've seen that span THOUSANDS of agents?!

In general we instantiate one or even multiple agents per request (to limit data and resource access). At moderate scale, like 10,000 requests per minute, even small delays can impact user experience and resource usage.

Another example: there a large, fortune 10 company that has built an agentic system to sift through data in spreadsheets, they create 1 agent per row to validate everything in that row. You might be able to see how that would scale to thousands of agents per minute.

Your first 2 examples on your readme involve single agents. These are a waste of time. We don't need yet another llm api call wrapper. An agentic system with just 1 tool / agent is pointless.

Thankfully your third example half way down does have an eg with 3 agents. May have helped to have a judge/architect agent.

Not clear about the infra required or used.

Would help to have helper functions to get and set session state/memory. Being able to bootstrap from json could be a good feature.

Would help to have diff agents with diff llms to show that you have thought things through.

Why should spawning 1000's of agents even be in your benchmark. Since when did we start counting variables. Maybe saying each agent would take X memory/ram would suffice - because everything is subjective, can't be generalized.

Consider a rest api that can do what the examples did via curl?

Good luck!

In my opinion to really lift off here you need to make sure we can use these agents in production. That means the complete supply chain has to be considered. The deployment part is the heavy part and most people can run it locally. So if you close that gap people will be able to mass adopt. I am totally fine if you monetize it as a cloud service but give a full docs from code, test monitoring to deployment. And one more thing. Show what the framework is capable of. What can I do. Lots of videos and use cases here. Every single second needs to be pushed out.
