Four AI agents coordinating in real time outperformed Claude Opus 4.8 on enterprise coding tasks

As enterprise codebases grow, AI agents tasked with analyzing them are buckling under the weight of long-horizon tasks that require multiple interactions and tool calls. Dividing the work among a team of agents seems like the obvious fix, but it introduces a fatal flaw: most multi-agent systems are not designed for agents to coordinate among themselves mid-task and in real time.To solve this, researchers at Coral AI Labs and multiple universities introduced AgentRadio, an asynchronous message-pa
