The architectural solution that would keep the cost of agentic compute from growing exorbitantly is the migration towards MAS architecture that is based on a deterministic Maker-Checker loop. Rather than empowering giant agentic agents with unlimited capabilities to search and process cloud database information, companies opt for multiple smaller and specialized agents that use standard communication methods such as Model Context Protocol (MCP). In this model, a routing agent sorts requests, a worker agent performs them using the data that is available within a strictly defined scope, and a deterministic checker verifies the result prior to any database read/write operations. This way, there is no need for agents to fall into costly and endless "thought loops" and retry hallucinations, and the quantization of vectors in databases (for instance, 8-bit compression) reduces the cost of data layer processing significantly.
