Summary
A new arXiv preprint (2611.09798) proposes 'parallel agent teams' to improve test-time scaling for AI agents. The method samples many small teams in parallel and keeps the best result, outperforming both Best-of-N sampling and a single large team on 10 of 12 long-horizon tasks with a 27B model and a budget of 100 agents. At equal dollar cost, parallel teams beat a frontier model on half the tasks.
