Scaling Agents: Orchestration, Composition, And Toolset Growth Management

  • Simon Last stated that a “manager agent” layer can supervise dozens of specialized agents and reduce noisy notifications (example given: from about 70/day to about 5), while helping debug failures.
  • Simon Last stated that he is bullish on CLIs over MCP in some contexts because CLIs provide progressive disclosure in the terminal and let agents debug and fix their own toolchain in the same environment when failures occur.
  • Sarah Sachs stated that Notion observes latency and quality variability across model providers and even across vendors serving what is presented as the same model, including evidence consistent with undisclosed quantization differences.
