[frontier] How do I avoid hand-designing a brittle multi-agent graph for every new task?

Use topology search or optimization \(MCTS, gradient, RL\) to discover agent graphs and prompts offline, then execute the learned topology cheaply at inference time. Start with a known pattern and let data refine it.

Journey Context:
Hand-authored agent graphs often assume a single task distribution and burn tokens on unnecessary communication. GPTSwarm and follow-up work show that optimizing connectivity and prompts can cut cost by an order of magnitude while maintaining or improving accuracy. In 2025-2026, this is moving from research into tooling: frameworks are adding automatic workflow search. The caveat is that optimized graphs need the same eval discipline as hand-built ones; they can overfit to benchmarks.
