Brooks 定律同样适用于 AI 智能体协调成本

精选理由

有人把 Brooks 定律搬到了 agent 团队上:加的 agent 越多,交接路径越多,协调成本比模型便宜涨得还快,这个视角挺有意思。

Brooks 定律原本指给延期项目加人会拖慢进度,作者认为它同样适用于智能体。每增加一个 agent,就会新增交接路径,协调开销的增长速度超过数量本身。模型成本每个季度都在下降,但人与智能体之间的协调开销并不会随之降低。作者把 company harness 视为对这种协调成本的定价尝试。

Brooks's law was about adding people to a late project. It applies to agents too: every agent you add opens new handoff paths, and coordination grows faster than headcount. Models get cheaper every quarter. The overhead between people and agents doesn't.

A company harness is an attempt to price that in. Who measures it first?
