AboutIn the host's words.

Speakers: Hamish Songsmith (Silicon Quantum Computing)

Track: Leadership

One agent that does everything is powerful, until it’s impossible to debug, eval or secure. Break it into a graph of specialised agents and you get control, until the handoffs leak, the graph jams, and the next model upgrade passes you by.

Neither approach is wrong. Each one fails in its own predictable way. This is a scar-tissue talk from building agent systems in production: where each approach bites, why, and how to choose your tradeoffs on purpose.
