Microsoft Research open-sources Agensh, a coding-agent harness with no lead agent

According to a post on X by @Marktechpost, Microsoft Research released Agensh under the MIT license. Every worker runs the same claim, build, verify and merge loop and coordinates through a shared Git repo and chat channel instead of an orchestrator, with support for up to 1,024 agents. On the five hardest ProgramBench tasks, the mean pass rate rose from 19.31% with one agent to 28.78% with 128. Going from 1 to 8 agents added only 1.37 points, and token costs were not disclosed.

Teams building multi-agent coding systems may find Agensh a concrete reference for coordinating many agents without a central controller. The reported gains appear at higher agent counts, while the small early improvement and undisclosed token costs leave the cost-benefit trade-off unclear. Readers should watch for independent benchmark results and published cost figures before drawing conclusions.
