Swarms Demo. Legions Ship.
A swarm of agents is emergent, anonymous, and spectacular in a demo. A legion is chartered, capped, attributed, and accountable, and it is what actually ships. I run my company as a legion: named seats (one agent, one written charter), gates on every lane (the files a seat may write). The Romans beat bigger hordes with smaller numbers for four centuries.

Orbyt Runs on Loops, Not Prompts.
Orbyt's founder describes running autonomous agent loops, not prompts, to build and maintain a 425,000-line product. This is what that system does, how it is bounded, and what it does not prove.
