Finance may be the most suited to massive agent swarms because burning huge amounts of compute can still make economic sense when a single differentiated investment insight is extremely valuable.
“Imagine if every portfolio manager at a hedge fund had 10,000 agents that were just kind of fraternizing, talking about ideas, reading through the notes, pontificating, and then at the end of, you know, 24 hours of endless, you know, debate just gave you one idea. And the reason you’re able to do that is because investors are happy to pay $50,000 for one really good idea.”
