Orchestrator-Worker Pattern

An agent pattern where a lead model breaks a task into subtasks, delegates them to workers and synthesizes results.

Definition

The orchestrator dynamically decides subtasks, unlike fixed parallelization. It suits complex tasks such as research or multi-file code changes where needed steps are not known in advance.

Exam tip

Choose orchestrator-worker when subtasks cannot be predicted in advance; use fixed parallelization when they can.
