Signal Report forecasts 70 percent of multiagent systems using narrowly specialized agents by 2027

Summary

Gartner forecasts that by 2027, 70% of multiagent systems will consist of agents with a tightly limited specialty. In the same statement it acknowledges the trade-off: narrower agents raise accuracy but make coordination among them more complex. The forecast sits within Gartner's broader case that splitting work among agents that each handle one task is more efficient and scalable than a single large model. It also reflects the difficulty single agents have with multistep processes. No method or data source is provided for the 70% figure.
