Show Notes
The AI world is pivoting from specialized deep research tools to general-purpose agent swarms, but this shift comes with a massive performance cost. This episode explores the unique recursive architecture of deep research frameworks, why they verify facts so much better than general orchestrators, and the "good enough" trap that's causing developers to abandon them. We examine the engineering challenges behind evidence accumulation and why the middle market for indie research tools might be disappearing.
