A few people spend all their focus and tokens on one problem, and after some time I expect one of them to get at least closer to a solution. They can either work independently, or even better they team up and create a shared scratchpad for their agents. I don't see limits to scaling this, compared to OpenAI running however many subagents per problem.
And that multiply those few people by number of different problems.
