Agent Bedlam: A Future of Endless AI Energy Consumption?

    Monte-carlo modeling has been a hot topic here the last few days. I've been using a monte-carlo model to estimate the factors that contribute to AI energy growth and got curious as to what happens if we get agent to agent calls growing. I know its not very common today to have one agent trigger another agent call but I'm certain its a scenario that will be more common in the future. So I decided to find at what threshold this pattern causes out of control growth.

    Does anyone have any good examples today of agent call chaining?

    Interested to hear others thoughts here on this. I also am hoping to make my model available in some manner in the future for others use so interested if there are other parameters and factors you want to see?
