ORBIT: Multi-agent coordination
ORBIT placeholder research post. Replace with real draft.
The question
Can a swarm of LLM agents coordinate peer-to-peer without a central dispatcher, and still produce coherent outputs?
Setup
- 4 agents, each with a distinct role
- No master controller
- Shared context log as the only coordination primitive
Early results
| Task type | Central dispatcher | Peer-to-peer |
|---|---|---|
| Fact-finding | 82% | 79% |
| Debate | 71% | 88% |
| Creative writing | 65% | 91% |
(Numbers are ORBIT placeholders — real experiments pending.)
What's interesting
The peer-to-peer setup dramatically outperforms on open-ended tasks and modestly underperforms on closed-ended ones.
What's unresolved
- Cost: peer-to-peer uses 3x the tokens
- Reliability: failure modes are harder to debug
ORBIT discussion: open. Especially interested in hearing from anyone who's tried similar setups.
