Hi HN,
Tried running some multi-step agent workflows recently, and honestly — things broke more than I expected.
Not because the model was “bad”, but because:
small errors compound across steps
outputs drift slightly each time
one wrong assumption early= everything downstream breaks
What surprised me is this:
model intelligence didn’t matter as much as consistency
Even when using mm2.7, which works fine in isolation, reliability across chained steps becomes the real bottleneck
So now I’m wondering:
What models are people actually using for agent workflows?
Are you optimizing for intelligence, speed, or consistency?
How do you deal with failures across steps?
