What is the supervisor-worker pattern in Gemma 4?

It's a multi-agent setup where narrow "worker" agents handle specific tasks (like log analysis), and a central "supervisor" (powered by Gemma 4's thinking mode) coordinates, validates, and transitions states for reliability.

How does Gemma 4 improve multi-agent systems?

Gemma 4's structured thinking mode lets supervisors reason internally before acting — cutting errors by 30% in benchmarks — while state machines bound the chaos single agents create.

Is LangGraph the best for building these agents?

For now, yes — its graph flows match the state-driven pattern perfectly, with 300% GitHub growth signaling real traction over raw LangChain.
