Re:Google SWE points 48 AI agents at NASA Lidar, finds unmap... by shawabawa3 on Wednesday November 11, 2026 @08:51AM (#50453419)
Well they had to look at lidar images from huge parts of Mexico. Seeing as 48 agents did it in 72 hours, presumably 1 agent would do it in 144 days.

Simple to enough to ask "how long would it take", see 144 days and reply "do it in 3 days" and the agent will happily spin up enough instances to cover it

edit: "presumably one agent could parallelize its analysis"

No, they said they didn't analyse with tool use it was literally agents "looking" at the images via multimodal input

Even if it was a confirmed agent-orchestrator pattern, it would still be interesting to know the details.
