Reported DeepMind work on contract-first multi-agent delegation: scoped privileges and verifiable handoffs, with a large jump in long-horizon coding success.

Quoted text

This Google DeepMind paper is superb. Treating AI delegation as verifiable contracts rather than prompt handoffs: contract-first task decomposition, dynamic privilege attenuation, and transitive accountability across multi-agent execution chains. Production coding fleets: 15-step refactors 42.6% → 88.4% completion, token overhead −61.2%.

Analyst rationale

Secondary writeup of a paper, not a primary DeepMind post. Treat as a proposed mitigation for agency and containment, not as proof residual dropped.
