GPT-6 ASTRA JUST TURNED ONE AGENT CREW INTO 20+ BUSINESS WORKFLOWS one coordinator can route research, sales, support, compliance and engineering without spinning up a separate agent stack for every job. objective → specialist → tools → guardrails → human review → output multi-agent runs can burn roughly 15× more tokens than normal chat, but parallel research has cut complex task time by up to 90% when the branches are actually independent. one real sourcing system replaced about $12,000 of analyst work with roughly $200 in compute, while its internal evals climbed from 25% → 60% → 85%. the interesting shift is not “more agents.” it is one reusable operating layer that changes skills, tools and permissions depending on the job instead of rebuilding the workflow every time.
