Context Isolated Sub Agents and Fork Join
Suppose five agents each spend 20 steps on a task, and each step adds 1,800 tokens to its history. That is 180,000 tokens of model choices and tool results (5 x 20 x 1,800). Now suppose each agent returns a result of 500 tokens to a lead, and the rest stays in its own window.
| Where the work happens | Growth in the lead's window | Lead's window, from a base of 6,000 | Share of W = 200,000 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inside the lead | 180,000 tokens | 186,000 tokens | 93 percent |
| In five isolated agents | 2,500 tokens | 8,500 tokens | About 4 percent |
