    • Newer models (e.g., Opus 4.5) can handle complex planning directly, making single-agent loops more efficient than multi-sub-agent fleets.
    • Empirical tests show single-agent architectures run about twice as fast as multi-agent setups while significantly reducing token costs.
    • Anthropic releases a migration kit to assist enterprises in transitioning from complex sub-agent clusters to on-demand context single agents.
