Eight AI Agents Debate 2+2 in a 97-Step Workflow Built With YAML

A developer built Rein, an open-source orchestration engine for multi-agent AI workflows, then stress-tested it with an intentionally absurd experiment: eight AI specialists debating whether 2+2 equals 4 across 97 workflow steps and 18 phases. The experiment reveals how structured AI collaboration—parallel agents, skeptical critics, and synthesis phases—can outperform single-prompt systems for complex reasoning tasks.
