    Single-agent LLMs suck at long-running complex tasks. We’ve open-sourced a multi-agent orchestrator that we’ve been using to handle long-running LLM tasks. We found that single LLM agents tend to stall, loop, or generate non-compiling code, so we built a harness for agents to coordinate over shared context while work is in progress. How it works: 1. Orchestrator agent that manages task decomposition 2. Sub-agents for parallel work 3. Subscriptions to task state and progress 4. Real-time sharing of intermediate discoveries between agents We tested this on a Putnam-level math problem, but the…

    Some time ago I built a simple app to run swarms of coding agents — I call it fleet (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48256389). It's based on centralized beads with a Python orchestrator and can run any coder (Claude, agy, Codex). Recently I added a UI to manage the whole agent lifecycle: adding new tasks, monitoring running ones, and a chat interface built on MCP with a centralized SQLite DB. From the UI I can spawn agents to run in any directory, define dependencies on other tasks, and specify which coder/model should do the job. Today I can run 10–15 agents…

    Hi HN! Today me and qianli_cs want to share a new open-source project we've been working on called Durable Swarm. It's a drop-in replacement for OpenAI’s Swarm that augments it with durable execution to make your agentic workflows resilient to failures, so that if they are interrupted or restarted, they automatically resume from their last completed steps. https://github.com/dbos-inc/durable-swarm We believe that as multi-agent workflows become more common, longer-running, and more interactive, it's important to make them reliable. If an agent spends hours waiting for…
