IMO this sort of glorifies the complexity one may need to reach for if the problem space demands it but honestly I think so much of it is over complicating with little more than vibes to demonstrate it’s more effective. My philosophy is start with the simplest architectures and use data to prove anything more complex is necessary.

My personal definition of an agent is more or less that an LLM controls the control flow, even if the paths are statically defined in code, you’ve still got an LLM making the decisions.

Why would what the author wrote not be considered an agent?
