According to a recent report from SNS Insider, the global AI agents market was valued at $3.7 billion in 2023. The market is expected to grow to $103.6 billion by 2032, with a compound annual growth rate of 44.9% during the forecast period from 2024 to 2032. This trajectory indicates a fundamental shift in how we approach distributed computing and automation, particularly in cloud environments. I was an early advocate of this shift in the ‘90s, and it’s great to see it finally getting some traction.

AWS Labs’ recent release of the Multi-Agent Orchestrator framework on GitHub represents a significant milestone in this evolution, demonstrating how major cloud providers are reimagining traditional distributed systems through the lens of modern AI capabilities. It’s a revival of old ideas, but it’s also a fundamental rethinking.
