\u201cThe gap is architectural, not a prompting problem,\u201d Pandey adds. \u201cWithout the right coordination layer, naive multi-agent setups can perform worse than a single agent. The step change is that team of agents converging on its own, on a new problem, with no human stitching the seams.\u201d<\/p>\n
To reach this goal, Pandey says Outshift has built a connectivity layer called AGNTCY, an open-source project now under the Linux Foundation. AGNTCY allows agents across different systems, companies, and platforms to find each other, prove identity, and exchange messages through open, standardized protocols.<\/p>\n
And, as Pandey explains, this allows the Internet of Cognition thesis to take a step further. It creates a semantic layer that allows agents to align goals (share intent), pool institutional knowledge and compound memory (share context), and make collective trade-offs (share reasoning).<\/p>\n
Pandey likens this progression to that of humans: \u201cFor hundreds of thousands of years humans got individually smarter, and the gains died with each person who made them,\u201d he explains. \u201cAround 70,000 years ago that changed, when humans learned to share intent, build cumulative knowledge, and reason collectively. That is when scattered individuals became civilization.<\/p>\n
\u201cAgents are at the same threshold. We have built the silicon geniuses and given them agency. What they lack is the layer that let humans go collective,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
Enabling agents to work collectively rests on three pillars in the tech stack:<\/p>\n
Shared intent through cognition state protocols: <\/strong>Cognition state protocols are the semantic handshake that allow agents to agree on a goal before they act and then negotiate toward it. Outshift has created an open-source coordination layer called Mycelium, which organizations can clone and use against their own agents.<\/p>\n \u201cWe found that unstructured groups reached a decision about a third of the time across 14 scenarios,\u201d says Pandey, speaking about internal testing. \u201cA coordination protocol that makes agents declare a goal, surface missing information, and resolve conflicts before acting raised that to 93%.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n #path #artificial #superintelligence<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cThe gap is architectural, not a prompting problem,\u201d Pandey adds. \u201cWithout the right coordination layer,…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18610,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[1179,2440,12338],"class_list":["post-18609","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-stories","tag-artificial","tag-path","tag-superintelligence"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/CREA-1571-MIT-tech-review-Misc-1200x675-option-2.png",1200,600,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/CREA-1571-MIT-tech-review-Misc-1200x675-option-2-150x150.png",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/CREA-1571-MIT-tech-review-Misc-1200x675-option-2-300x150.png",300,150,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/CREA-1571-MIT-tech-review-Misc-1200x675-option-2-768x384.png",640,320,true],"large":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/CREA-1571-MIT-tech-review-Misc-1200x675-option-2-1024x512.png",640,320,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/CREA-1571-MIT-tech-review-Misc-1200x675-option-2.png",1200,600,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/CREA-1571-MIT-tech-review-Misc-1200x675-option-2.png",1200,600,false],"covernews-featured":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/CREA-1571-MIT-tech-review-Misc-1200x675-option-2-1024x512.png",1024,512,true],"covernews-medium":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/CREA-1571-MIT-tech-review-Misc-1200x675-option-2-540x340.png",540,340,true]},"author_info":{"display_name":"admin","author_link":"https:\/\/news678.top\/?author=1"},"category_info":"Stories<\/a>","tag_info":"Stories","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18609","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=18609"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18609\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/18610"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=18609"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=18609"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=18609"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
