860 Are you paying an AI ‘swarm tax’? Why single agents often beat complex systems

VentureBeat
VentureBeat · 04/22/2026 17:24 EDT

Enterprise teams building multi-agent AI systems may be paying a compute premium for gains that don't hold up under equal-budget conditions. New Stanford University research finds that single-agent systems match or outperform multi-agent architectures on complex reasoning tasks when both are given the same thinking token budget.However, multi-agent systems come with the added baggage of computational overhead. Because they typically use longer reasoning traces and multiple interactions, it is often unclear.

Высокотемпературные сверхпроводящие материалы (ВТСП) в электронике: патенты в мире и в России

Эксперты видят перспективы высокотемпературных сверхпроводящих (ВТСП) материалов в слаботочной электронике для создания, в частности, сверхпроводящих трансформаторов магнитного потока и аксиальных градиометров для сверхпроводящих квантовых магнитометров (СКВИДов), а также сверхпроводящих линий передачи информации. Особо интересны явления, в которых наиболее ярко проявляются необычные свойства высокотемпературных сверхпроводников, такие как псевдощелевое состояние, электрон-дырочная асимметрия, анизотропия и Read more

Как мы проектировали мониторинг Telegram-групп на Telethon: архитектура, правила пользователей и масштабирование

Telegram давно стал не только мессенджером, но и большой средой для сообществ: локальные чаты, профессиональные группы, каналы с комментариями, чаты по аренде, работе, продаже вещей, услугам и так далее.В какой-то момент у нас появилась техническая задача: сделать систему, которая умеет читать сообщения из Telegram-групп, проверять их по пользовательским правилам и отправлять уведомления, если найдено совпадение.Например, один пользователь хочет получать сообщения, где есть слова: Читать далее Read more

Самые странные деньги прошлого: ракушки, камни, чай и маленькие шиферные колечки

Деньги, какими мы их знаем и понимаем сегодня, возникли в VII веке до нашей эры — это были первые монеты. А спустя почти полторы тысячи лет в Китае стали использовать прообразы бумажных денег — расписки, которые можно было перевозить вместо тяжёлых монет. Вообще история эволюции денег интересна — они не всегда выглядели как привычные нам монеты или банкноты. В разные времена и в разных культурах долго использовались «товарные деньги», то... Read more

OpenAI's GPT-5 family, Anthropic's Claude Opus, and Google's Gemini Pro have clustered within a narrow band on Scale AI's SWE-Bench Pro leaderboard, making it nearly impossible for engineering leaders to determine which agent will actually perform best inside their codebases.On Monday, a startup called Datacurve released...
