Ricker(@0xRicker):300 agents without context engineering is just 300 ways to lose track of the answer. a serious agent system starts looking less like: 1 model → 1 prompt → 1 answer and more like: 1 planner → N parallel agents → verifier → merge → memory → human gate once you have 10, 50, or 300 agents, the number of possible relationships explodes. 100 entities = 4,950 possible pairwise relationships. 300 = 44,850. 1,000 = 499,500. that’s why “just give the model more context” stops working surprisingly fast. you need different agents seeing different slices of the graph. the architecture around the model is becoming the product. full article below ↓
