Multi-agent debate framework recommendation

Multi-agent debate is mostly an experimentation pattern. AutoGen and CrewAI both fit the conversational model, but production systems should convert useful debate steps into a controlled graph before launch.

Scenario-specific FAQs

Is multi-agent debate production-ready?

It can be useful for exploration, but open-ended debate is hard to budget, test, and govern. Production versions should limit turns, define roles, and measure whether the debate improves outcomes.

How do I control cost?

Cap the number of turns, use cheaper models for critics, cache shared context, and route only ambiguous cases into debate. Running debate on every request is usually wasteful.
