Agentic AI loops are directly relevant to multi-agent orchestration interests.
Summary
Boris Cherny, creator of Claude Code, declared at Meta's @Scale conference that agentic loops—where AI agents continuously prompt other agents to improve code architecture and unify abstractions—are as significant a step as the shift from hand-written code to agent-written code. These non-deterministic loops, like the Ralph Loop which checks if goals are met, burn tokens continuously with no cost ceiling, making them expensive but potentially transformative for tasks like incremental codebase improvement.
