Agent Optimization

Definition

Distributing complex reasoning tasks across multiple agents or models.

Explanation

Cognitive load balancing prevents agent overload by distributing tasks across specialized agents or models. It mirrors human teamwork—breaking work into domains and assigning the optimal agent to each. It improves speed, accuracy, and reliability in large-scale agentic systems.

Technical Architecture

Task → Load Balancer → Specialized Agents → Aggregator → Output

Core Component

Load balancer, agent roles, routing engine, aggregator

Use Cases

Multi-agent systems, enterprise copilots, research automation

Pitfalls

Poor task distribution; communication overhead; redundant work
