Agent Fleet
ELI5 — The Vibe Check
An agent fleet is a whole bunch of AI agents running in production — each handling one kind of task, all of them at once. Fleet management is now a real skill: monitoring cost, debugging stuck agents, pruning bad ones.
Real Talk
An agent fleet is a production deployment of multiple concurrent AI agents, typically specialized by task type. Fleet management involves monitoring (token cost, latency, success rates), debugging (stuck agents, loops), versioning (which agent version runs which task), and scaling (auto-scaling concurrent agent count). Emerging as a discipline in 2026.
