Stop guessing your multi-agent architecture ( Cohort )
Most teams default to complex multi-agent frameworks when standard sequential logic or deterministic routing is faster, cheaper, and more reliable.
For this week's cohort focus, we’re dissecting Microsoft’s official blueprint:
The 4 Core Patterns
- Sequential: Deterministic pipelines with explicit handoffs (e.g., Draft ➔ Review ➔ Format).
- Routing: An intent gatekeeper directing input to domain-specific agents without context bloat.
- Concurrent: Parallel fan-out/fan-in execution for speed-critical research or multi-perspective review.
- Group Chat / Collaborative: Shared thread deliberation for open-ended trade-offs (highest latency and cost).

Which of these patterns are you currently using, and what’s your biggest bottleneck (latency, token costs, or state drift)? 👇
