In LangGraph, when the Supervisor architecture coordinates 8 Agents, the Supervisor's own token consumption may be comparable to that of the 8 Agents combined; this is an inherent cost of the centralized scheduling architecture, not a bug.

UnverifiedThe Supervisor's System Prompt is usually longer than that of a single Agent, because it needs to describe all Agents' capability boundaries, invocation conditions, and output formats; the responsibility descriptions for 8 Agents may occupy 1000-2000 tokens.79% similarUnverifiedAn agent that runs continuously and frequently calls large language models faces cost-control challenges in terms of token and compute overhead.67% similarUnverifiedAgent tasks often require maintaining context windows of tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of tokens, which differs by orders of magnitude in resource consumption from the low-latency single-inference mode of ordinary code completion.66% similarUnverifiedIn mainstream multi-agent frameworks such as CrewAI, AutoGen, and LangGraph, the manager agent pattern has been widely adopted, commonly referred to as a Supervisor Agent or Manager Agent.66% similarUnverifiedA high-availability Agent architecture needs to consider the maximum number of loop iterations, intermediate state persistence, and coordination mechanisms among concurrent multi-Agents65% similar
