At what cost,. monetary and environmental?

If the system provides value that is greater than its cost, then paying the cost to gain the value is always worthwhile - regardless of the magnitude of the cost.

As costs drop exponentially (a reasonable expectation for LLMs, etc.) then increasing agent parallelism becomes more and more economically viable over time.

    Not a reasonable expectation anymore. Moore's Law has been dead for more than a decade and we're getting close to physical limits.
