when I think of multi-agent collaboration I think of also the control flow and handover to be defined by the agents themselves, this is the thing I have yet to see examples of in production, and the premise that I also don't buy yet
For this reason, I think that for at least the next couple years, even very advanced agent systems are likely to have a lot of deterministic control flow and glue in their guts. To me, that doesn’t make them “not multi-agent”. Rather, this is how you can build multi-agent systems that actually work in reality. But much of it comes down to semantics, admittedly.
