Market architecture

v7 market

A dispatcher decomposes the request into tasks and posts them to a market. A pool of specialist agents bid on tasks (advertising fit and estimated cost); the dispatcher awards each task to the best bidder, winners execute in parallel, and results are synthesized. Best for heterogeneous work where "who should do this?" isn't obvious.

agents bid on tasks; best bid wins

How it works
  1. 1A dispatcher decomposes the request into tasks and posts them to a market.
  2. 2Specialist agents bid on tasks they fit, advertising confidence and estimated cost.
  3. 3The dispatcher awards each task to the best bidder, capping how many one agent can win.
  4. 4Winners execute in parallel; the dispatcher synthesizes their deliverables.
When to use

Heterogeneous work where the best agent for each task is not obvious up front.

Trade-off

The bid round is extra LLM calls; only worth it for larger, varied agent pools.

Note

Competitive bidding spreads work to the best-fit agent and makes cost visible, but the bid round is extra calls — it pays off mainly with larger, heterogeneous agent pools.
