Anthropic's Claude can now orchestrate up to 1,000 AI agents in parallel through dynamic workflows

Anthropic is adding dynamic workflows to its Claude Managed Agents, bringing multi-agent orchestration to the platform. The managed agent infrastructure has been around for a while, but dynamic workflows are new. A lead agent creates a plan, distributes tasks to sub-agents, and merges the results when they're done.
