Multi-agent orchestration becomes table stakes — 8 majors shipped parallel-agent modes in one cycle

Within a two-week window in February 2026, every major coding agent shipped multi-agent capabilities: Grok Build (8 parallel agents), Windsurf (5 parallel agents), Claude Code Agent Teams, Codex CLI (Agents SDK), Devin (parallel cloud sessions). May 2026 followups: GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark on Cerebras WSE-3 hits 1,000+ tokens/second per agent.

Single-agent workflows are now the lowest tier. The product question has shifted from "can your tool do one thing reliably" to "can your tool coordinate eight things in parallel without stepping on itself." That coordination problem is what separates the leaders from the rest of the field.

Cerebras hardware acceleration on Codex-Spark at 1,000 tok/s changes the latency profile of agent fleets. When each agent generates a thousand tokens a second, eight agents in parallel push 8,000 tok/s effective throughput — and the bottleneck moves from the model to the orchestration layer above it.
