If we take coding off the table i don't see the case for large agent swarms. More is not always better in my experience experimenting with agents

If you can't see cases for it you may need some glasses. Replace the graph in the docs of Top-level planner -> mid-level planners -> worker leaf nodes and you get an org chart of CEO -> executives, N-levels of management, and ICs at the leafs. It directly maps to almost any office-based company that can operate completely digitally.

It's obviously in its infancy but fully agentic companies are becoming a possibility, given the right harness, models and tools

Lets separate "workers" from "decision seats", you might need a lot of workers which typically don't actual require inference and might actually just be cheap solvers but actually less decision seats. So i guess it depends on what you are calling agents in your scenario.
