Not just RL on tool calling, but RL on agent orchestration, neat!

Is this within the model? Or within the IDE/service that runs the model?
Because tool calling is mostly just the agent outputting "call tool X", and the IDE does it and returns the data back to AI's context

Parallel agents are such a simple, yet powerful hack. Using it in Claude Code with TeammateTool and getting lots of good results!

1,500 tool calls per task sounds like a nightmare for unit economics though. I've been optimizing my own agent workflows and even a few dozen steps makes it hard to keep margins positive, so I'm not sure how this is viable for anyone not burning VC cash.
