    Patterns and problems in multiagent systems

    Vulnerability hunting: 45 agents with a shared forum and an arbiter found 266 vulnerabilities in 15 open-source projects over 27 million tokens, against 21 over 6.5 million tokens for independent agents.

    Path to agentic transformation

    Deployment stage: 42% are testing or have a few deployments, 43% are expanding across functions, 15% have scaled orchestrated multi-agent adoption.

    31% → 74%leaders expecting at least half of processes redesigned around agents within two years vs four years

  • C

    Agentic readiness press release

    74% expect nearly half of their business processes to be redesigned or rebuilt around AI agents within four years; 61% expect most agents to be generally autonomous, with humans in oversight.

    Cheap Fallible Cognition

    A task vulnerability index built from eight task traits: digital observability, output regularity, ex-post evaluability, retrieval intensity and error tolerability push exposure up; tacit context, liability and coordination-and-trust push it down.
