> Kimi K2.5 can self-direct an agent swarm

Is this within the model? Or within the IDE/service that runs the model?

Because tool calling is mostly just the agent outputting "call tool X", and the IDE does it and returns the data back to AI's context

An LLM model only outputs tokens, so this could be seen as an extension of tool calling where it has trained on the knowledge and use-cases for "tool-calling" itself as a sub-agent.

Ok, so agent swarm = tool calling where the tool is a LLM call and the argument is the prompt

		Yes largely, although they’ve trained a model specifically for this task rather than using the base model and a bit of prompting.

		Sort of. It’s not necessarily a single call. In the general case it would be spinning up a long-running agent with various kinds of configuration — prompts, but also coding environment and which tools are available to it — like subagents in Claude Code.
