Descriptions:
Multi-agent AI systems just went from research project to recipe. I ran 20+ AI agents across 4 model families to rebuild a website in one afternoon for about $8 — and the system caught every hallucination, every shortcut, and even the boss model’s own bug without me lifting a finger.

What’s really happening inside multi-agent AI systems?
The common story is that hallucinations make AI agents too untrustworthy for real work — but the real question is whether trusting the agent was ever the right design in the first place.
In this video, I share the inside scoop on running a verified agent swarm:
– Why one frontier boss plus cheap workers beats frontier-only pricing
– How executed checks caught a hallucination, a cheat, and the boss’s bug
– How to audition new models before trusting them with real work
– What a written constitution does that task-by-task prompting can’t
Hallucinations aren’t solved — but with verification built into the structure, delegating big work to AI agents becomes a design question instead of a trust question.
