Manus continues to explore the boundaries of agents.

He communicated with Brother Tao in the group in the morning.

He said that in fact, thousands of sub agents can now be created.

They call this map reduce internally.

My previous understanding of multi-agents was still shallow.

Their sub agents reduced token consumption by ten times.

One of my understandings is that sub agents do not need to have full AI agent capabilities.

They only need to be able to meet specific needs.

In this way, unnecessary capabilities can be cut out, and coordination will be easier.

In short, the whole behind them The agent architecture design is another very valuable engineering practice, congratulations馃帀
