Our team must confront and solve problems unique to parallelizing agents at this magnitude, not limited to: race conditions for 10^5 agents writing to a data model simultaneously, realtime transmission of agent outputs across all services to the client, optimizing for both write throughput and in-memory footprint for each agent.
