These are self hosted for learning experience, I could have built an agent swarm in the cloud, but I'd never have learnt the fundamentals.
- Cold starts impact, context length issues, task lifecycle management
- Inefficiencies in delegation, necessitating workflow patterns for small projects (big AIs hide this problem until you scale and they hit the same issues).
- Limits of the AI would be harder to find or notice (e.g. where time - and cost - is being spent needlessly).
