Multi-Agent Systems

← all concepts

Definition

Multi-agent systems have multiple AI agents acting in a shared environment, sometimes collaborating, sometimes competing, often both. They open up new capabilities (specialization, parallelism) and new failure modes (collusion, runaway loops, emergent strategies) that single-agent setups don’t have.
