Multi-Agent Systems
Coordination, communication, and emergence under control.
Multi-Agent Systems technology covers protocols, planning, and evaluation for cooperating agents. It draws on our foundational whitepaper and powers the Agent Platform with patterns for communication overhead, role specialization, and drift monitoring.
Protocols
Structured messaging with bounded token cost.
Planning
Hierarchical and market-based coordination.
Evaluation
Cooperation, robustness, and drift metrics.
Serving
Session fabrics for long-running agent graphs.
Emergence with guardrails
Unconstrained agent swarms waste tokens and invent unsafe plans. Our frameworks constrain communication schemas, tool rights, and planning horizons while still allowing specialization across roles.
Measure what matters
We evaluate agents on task success, cost, latency, and failure recovery — not only fluent conversation. Drift detectors watch for gradual policy violation as prompts and tools evolve.
From paper to platform
The same abstractions appear in Agent Platform’s workflow studio and runtime, so research improvements propagate to customer deployments without rewriting applications.
