Just had a great discussion on dynamic workflows.
Rough notes:
- applies to a very small set of use cases
- think of it as a new paradigm of (test-time compute) TTC
- strong for hill-climbing research experiments
- careful planning leads to better results
- you can often get better results by just increasing the reasoning level
- /goal + /loop is a subset of dynamic workflows
- verifiers/judges are crucial to get good results
- combine/fuse different coding agents for even better results
- great for when you need different perspectives from agents (llm council)
- frontier models are not equipped for optimally generating harnesses on the fly
- newer models like Mythos are probably better trained to do more optimal agent orchestration
- benchmarks on TTC are lacking, but we need them to measure how effective dynamic workflows are
- meta prompt dynamic workflows are a lot of fun; even opus 4.8 might surprise you
- dynamic workflows can be packaged as skills for further optimization of them
Longer post coming soon.
