Inside it, buried between a few environment variable references and a stale TODO comment, sit a handful of integers: requests per minute, tokens per
Multi-agent pipelines are no longer a research curiosity. In 2026, they are production infrastructure. Enterprise backend teams are deploying orchestrated networks of specialized AI agents to handle everything from automated financial reconciliation to real-time customer journey management.
