  • Short-term lives in the current context window
  • Long-term is stored externally
  • Memory quality depends on retrieval and summarization

Single-agent vs multi-agent design

Single-agent systems are simpler to control, while multi-agent systems split work across specialized roles at the cost of more orchestration overhead.

  • Single agent is easier to debug
  • Multi-agent can separate concerns
  • More agents do not automatically mean better quality
