Related: I've been finding a lot of success (defined as more autonomy with less quality dropoff) with team-based workflows.

A lot of evidence for this.

- Adaptive Auto-Harness: Sustained Self-Improvement for Agentic System Deployment on Open-Ended Task Streams (https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.01770) talks about multi-agent, role-based adaptive harnesses collaborating on non-homogeneous workstreams

- team-solve (https://github.com/guregodevo/memdoor/tree/main/examples/wor...) team of small models beats Fable on LiveCodeBench

- Agensh paper (https://arxiv.org/html/2609.26781v1) also talks about "role-playing agents to study autonomous cooperation"

All show that role-based, multi-agent setups improve performance.
