Multi-Agent Inference Engine Auto-Tuner with AutoGen and vLLM

Automate continuous batching engine parameter tuning for specialized agent workloads. Build a multi-agent conversational optimization system in AutoGen where specialized agents collaborate to benchmark and adjust vLLM engine flags like max_num_seqs and block_size to maximize throughput.
