> And that skill is? Any concrete verifiable examples? That can be replicated, repeated by others or adopted by others?

I learned this weekend that 1 LLM working on its own with all the context is usually better than splitting the task up into sub parts and having multiple LLMs work in parallel.

The interesting part is that I had read about this previously but it wasn't until I had seen it on something I was working on did that principle become engrained.

I'm sure there are still ways to make this work. i.e You could specify how the context should be passed between agents.

Knowing when you need to do that, what works well and what doesn't, etc., is where skill comes into play.

No, it doesn't. Because this will change the next time there's an update to models (like, tomorrow). And the "handoff time" is nothing but an unverifiable gut feeling.

		If LLMs reached a point where they can effectively orchestrate on their own, we would be entering a new era of progress. And I thought we were at that phase after reading about hundreds of LLMs orchestrating the hugging face attack. But that's not where we're at.
