Agents2026-06-07 · source-backed
Accepted at ICML 2026, this documents diminishing and eventually negative returns as you add agents to a multi-agent system, and proposes an optimal team size. Source: arXiv It's the empirical counterweight to the "more agents equals more intelligence" instinct that broke so many 2024 pilots. Cap your fan-out. The data now backs the discipline.
