Snake oil is a bit strong, no? I would agree that the burden of proof is on multi-agent systems to show they are outperforming single-agent systems.

On my own evals I have seen this, though the improvement may not have been worth the extra cost.

The name of the thread is provocative, but the premise is valid - I have yet to see anything produced by multi-agent frameworks (langchain or bespoke works) that produced value. Anthropic pushes vibeCAD, vibeVFX, vibePowerPoint but the results are underwhelming. The real value is in codegeneration and autonomous infra, research.
