In the context of our work, eta-agents are agents in a multi-agent software paradigm that utilizes reasoning to both construct and deploy special-purpose agents that form an EC. Unfortunately, and opportunistically research-wise, reasoning models that can support the idea of meta-agents in the context of EC have not been explored. To realize EC using meta-agents, we discuss managing ...
