Alberta published a case study last week about scanning 466 million lines of code across 1,280 applications using around 50 specialized Claude agents - red-team agents mapping exploit paths, blue-team agents writing remediation plans, code-quality agents, content-clarity agents - all running in parallel. The scan that would have taken six years traditionally took 20 hours.
Everyone shared the 466 million number. The throughput is impressive.
But that's not the number I kept thinking about.
The number I kept thinking about: how many of those 50 agents needed to trust the output of another agent before they could do their job?
And the question nobody asked: who owned that handoff?
