New Meta paper finds that having 2 different coding agents review each other's patches catches far more silent bugs than giving 1 agent a bigger budget.
Mixing Claude Code and Codex on the same task raised fully correct patches from 45.8% to 62.5% at matched spend.
Agents editing real training code can leak test data, break a gradient, or miswire a flag.
The code still runs, so you burn GPU hours and get numbers that look valid.
The reason is uncorrelated mistakes: agents from the same product fail the same way, so there is little for review to catch. The effect repeated on an unrelated training codebase.
