🔬Agensh: 1,024 Coding Agents Collaborate With No Orchestrator
TL;DR
Microsoft Research's Agensh lets up to 1,024 agents coordinate without a central controller. Test-pass rate on pandoc rose from 33.89% to 55.06% as the swarm scaled.
Microsoft Research's Agensh lets up to 1,024 agents coordinate without a central controller. Test-pass rate on pandoc rose from 33.89% to 55.06% as the swarm scaled. Gains plateau and were tested on one benchmark.
Key Points
1 to 128 agents lifted ProgramBench pass rate from 19.31% to 28.78%
1 to 1,024 agents on pandoc: 33.89% to 55.06%
128-agent teams hit targets 60+ minutes sooner than a single agent
Uses a Git workspace, Mattermost messaging and an append-only context board
Limits: one model (GPT-5.6-sol), 6-hour budget, gains flatten at scale
Why It Matters
Decentralized swarms show emergent roles like integrators at scale, but the plateau says more agents is not free performance. Code is open on GitHub if you want to test it.
