Parallel subagents changed how I think about model selection

We recently shipped parallel subagents in Multi. The goal is the same as always: more AI leverage, while keeping visibility and control.

But parallel agents make one thing obvious: "best coding model" is the wrong framing.

When one agent runs the whole show, one default model kind of works.

With subagents, the task splits into different kinds of work: planning a refactor, searching a repo, editing one file, writing tests, debugging a failure, spinning up cheap parallel research workers

Those do not all need the same model.

Some need reasoning.
Some need speed.
Some need context.
Some need cheap tokens.

Curious how people want this to work in Multi.

Would you route models by task/role, or just pick one default and live with it?

Multi v0.0.97 is live: parallel execution 🚀

Folks, we just shipped parallel execution in v0.0.97.

Multi can now coordinate multiple calls and agents at once when the work is independent. Less waiting. More done.

In our testing, we found this especially powerful when the task touches several parts of a codebase.

If the work can run in parallel, Multi will do that by default. And if you want to push it harder, just ask Multi to parallelize the task.

Onward 🚀

We shipped Multi Agent support

We shipped Multi Agent support.

A single agent works well for small tasks that fit inside the context window.

Large tasks are different. They overflow the context window or create enough context pressure that the agent starts losing the thread.

Before this, you had to manage that yourself: create the plan, run one step, fork or undo, trim context, repeat. It works, but it’s tedious.

That’s why we built Multi Agents.

Multi can now break large tasks into smaller steps and manage context more efficiently.

A supervisor agent keeps track of the overall direction, while subagents work on individual steps.

You still see what each agent is doing. You can inspect the steps. You stay in control.

That part matters a lot to us. More agents without visibility is just more chaos.

Now you can let Multi manage larger tasks with better planning, visible execution, and full control over each step.

Give it a try if you’re working on a larger task and let us know how it feels.

Happy shipping.

Multi now auto-discovers your local Codex

We just added auto-discovery for Codex in Multi.

If Codex is already installed on your machine, Multi can pick it up automatically and make it available in your profiles with no extra setup.

Less friction, better UX.
