Claude Subagents vs Agent Teams: What’s the difference?

From the creator

🀝 Your team not maximizing Claude? I run 1:1 and team AI workshops for companies doing $10M+ per year: https://aibuilder.academy/yt/jT1rg3TBf-I Claude Code recently released so-called Agent Teams. In this video, I explain what they are, how they compare to subagents, and share a (mini) experiment that puts them head-to-head on real-world tasks. ▢️ AI Coding Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz-ep5RbHosVfra9AXAOq105gzlXY4HsT References [1] https://code.claude.com/docs/en/overview [2] https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/effective-context-engineering-for-ai-agents [3] https://research.trychroma.com/context-rot [4] https://code.claude.com/docs/en/sub-agents [5] https://code.claude.com/docs/en/agent-teams [6] https://youtu.be/Mi5wOpAgixw Intro - 0:00 Claude Code - 0:18 Context Challenges - 1:54 Subagents - 4:10 A Problem with Subagents - 8:29 Agent Teams - 9:56 Subagents vs Agent Teams - 12:10 Experiment: Subagents vs Teams - 15:39 Task 1: Lead List Creation - 17:24 Task 2: YT Course Creator - 19:05 Task 3: Landing Page Creation - 21:17 Takeaways - 23:00

Makers residency 4th edition

Your idea can be anything. At our last workshops, people built plant-based nutrition businesses, a way to measure planetary resilience, crochet headwear and a way to connect lonely people living in the same building. An asset manager went on to raise an additional Β£25M on their fund within nine months. The fourth workshop is a full day at KOKO with Nick Sarafa, learning to build with Claude Code. Bring the thing you keep meaning to start. We’ll bring the pizza.
