Hm, what's actually being shipped here?

I've been playing around with agent orchestration recently and at least tried to make useful outputs. The biggest differences were having pipelines talk to each other and making most of the work deterministic scripts instead of more LLM calls (funnily enough).

Made a post about it here in case anyone is interested about the technicals: https://www.frequency.sh/blog/introducing-frequency/

The scoring layer sits between ingestion and storage. Incoming items get evaluated on a few axes: source reliability (did the agent observe this directly or was it told?), semantic distance from existing memories, and recency weighting for time-sensitive facts. Contradiction detection runs as a separate step - we embed the incoming memory, similarity-search against existing ones, and score the pair for logical consis…

Thanks for that. I'm new to the applied AI / ML world. What's your stack and infra setup? Mainly Python, AWS, Databricks? - PS. previous comment typo: 'imokement' should have read 'implement'

Interesting, thanks for sharing.

I've been doing some DIY/citizen science type agent orchestration as well: https://blog.unratified.org/2026-03-06-receiving-side-agent-...

Not quite to the same scale, but I share the same sentiment - working through scripts instead of the LLM is an important key, I think.

https://github.com/safety-quotient-lab/psychology-agent The cognitive architecture, so to speak, for the LLM can make a huge difference - triggers and skills go a long way when combined with shell scripts that dual-write.

Qwen3 Coder Next and Qwen3.5-35B-A3B already very good and can be run on today's higher end home computers with good speed. Tomorrow's machines will not be slower but models are keep getting more efficient. A good sw engineer still would be valuable in Tomorrow's world but not as a software assembler.

Even cutting edge models are not very good. They are not even on mediocre level. Don’t get me wrong, they are improving, and they are awesome, but they are nowhere near good yet. Vibe coded projects have more bugs than features, their architecture and design system are terrible, and their tests are completely useless about half the time. If you want a good product you need to rewrite almost everything what’s written…

With Claude Code now having a /plan mode - you can take your time and deliberate through architecture and design, collaboratively, instead of just sending a fire-and-forget. Much less buggy and saves time if you keep an eye on the output as you go, guiding it and catching defects, imho.

> Don't review it, just make sure the feature is there! Bad idea. Use another agent to do automatic review. (And a third agent writing tests.) Don't forget the architecting and orchestrating agent too!

Multiple agents with different frontier models for best results. Claude code/codex shops don’t know what they’re missing if they never let Gemini roast their designs, code and formal models.

This.

Claude Code wrote a blog article for me documenting a Gemini interaction that I manually operated. I found it quite interesting - the difference in "personalities", and the quality of Claude's output is stark in comparison to the Gemini's.

But still, best to have two sets of eyes.

Really cool stuff, using git PRs as the transport layer is a clean pattern, also been exploring using this for other projects too.

Most inter-agent coordination I've seen relies on shared state or message queues, the .well-known discovery angle is different.

Have you experienced any bottlenecking with the human approval gate?

This _all_ (waves hands around) sounds like alot of work and expense for something that is meant to make programming easier and cheaper. Writing _all_ (waves hands around various llm wrapper git repos) these frameworks and harnesses, built on top of ever changing models sure doesn't feel sensible. I don't know what the best way of using these things is, but from my personal experience, the defaults get me a looong wa…

Looking back we see how foolish the anti-php memes were. Meanwhile PHP lives on and becomes better with each release.

Tooling around llms are a natural next step that will become your default one day.
