Prompt-Induced Waste in Coding Agents: Reasoning, Effort, Harness Design, and End-to-End Cost
Sarel Weinberger, Amir Hozez
Coding-agent efficiency cannot be characterized by token count or model price alone. End-to-end cost and task success depend jointly on prompt semantics, inference effort, harness…

Token Reduction Is Not Cost Reduction
Sarel Weinberger, Amir Hozez
Token-reduction tools for coding agents are often evaluated by the number of tokens they remove, but token count alone does not determine end-to-end inference cost. We evaluate thr…
