SquidAgent: Parallelize Wisely, Coordinate Efficiently· SquidAgent：智能并行，高效协调
LLM-based agents solve complex multi-step tasks, but sequential execution incurs substantial latency. In principle, parallelizing work across multiple agents should yield near-linear speedups. Yet existing parallel multi-agent systems often run slower than a single-agent baseline. We attribute this gap to two hidden costs that parallel execution incurs but a serial agent avoids. First, there is a re-exploration cost: redundant effort spent by parallel workers reconstructing context that the orchestrator already possesses, such as prior decisions, that would otherwise be inherited implicitly in a serial execution. Second, there is an alignment cost: the overhead required to reconcile inconsistencies across independently generated outputs. We thus derive a principled decision criterion: a la
