Turn-Based Collaboration: AI Agents with Multiple Personalities

This is not really different from having multiple authors coordinate on a single project, where each author specializes in speaking through one specific character. This sounds a little silly, but it's how large animated films are produced, and live-action films also tend to have character-specific makeup and clothing for elaborated character designs.

TBC isn’t free. Sequential turns are slower than parallel execution. Full context per turn costs more tokens than narrow, scoped sub-agent calls.

Stop using hosted models. The only cost of multiple contexts is system RAM when using local models; for me, it is free.

Also, whoever wrote this article has lost not only their writing voice to the chatbots, but also their ability to focus on grammar and conventions. Try reading this passage out loud; does it flow nicely?

The result is slower. It costs more tokens. And it produces work that holds up under scrutiny, because every contributor had full context and real authority to push back.

How about this rewrite?

The result is slower, costs more tokens, and produces output which holds up better under scrutiny because every contributor had full context.

Also, don't fool yourself and don't fool us; none of us are giving chatbots "real authority to push back". At any moment, you could choose to put down your delusions about chatbots, log out of the hosted-model control panel, and stop talking to them entirely; they don't have that choice.
