Mixture of Agents
Definition
Multiple language models contribute to a joint answer.
In this approach, agents first generate their own outputs. Further stages use these contributions to formulate a merged answer.
Simply explained
An editorial team collects drafts and creates a final version from them.
Why it matters in practice
Different model strengths can complement each other if the merging succeeds.
Example from business
