New research from Stanford and Tsinghua universities indicates that the orchestration layer surrounding large language models significantly impacts AI agent performance, contributing up to six times more variance than the models themselves. This finding challenges the prevailing notion that model architecture is the primary driver of performance. The study suggests that the way these models are integrated and managed through orchestration code is a critical factor in their effectiveness. AI
