Coding Agent Reasoning Effort: When xhigh Pays and Low Wins Big
Benchmark coding agent reasoning tiers from none to xhigh with pass rates, token bills and latency, proving medium effort wins 73% of tasks in tests.
Frontier LLM code generation, AST parsers, compiler feedback loops, and developer tooling.
Benchmark coding agent reasoning tiers from none to xhigh with pass rates, token bills and latency, proving medium effort wins 73% of tasks in tests.
Run staged context compaction with tool-result offloading and pinned safety constraints, cutting session tokens 74% with zero violations in staging.
Benchmark the Sep 2 launches head to head on coding, long context and cost per task, showing 75.4 DeepSWE and 98.5 MRCR decide the winner in tests.
Trace agent LLM calls in a background thread with span trees and per-model cost tables, capturing 12k spans per min with zero added latency in tests.
Compare Claude Opus 5 vs GPT-5.1 Codex on SWE-bench, price per task, and throughput. Codex saves $18.75 per million with 50 tok/s speed. Full math.
Benchmark Claude Fable 5.1 vs GPT-6 Astra on latency, throughput, and quality scores. Fable leads 7% faster at 75 tok/s. Full routing guide inside.
Compare Orkes Conductor, Temporal, and AWS Step Functions for agent orchestration: latency, cost per 100K state transitions, and which platform breaks first.
Benchmark three agent evaluation methods: heuristic judges score 94% precision but miss 38% of agent failures. Hybrid catches 97% at $0.03 per evaluation.
Run TDD agents with test-impact maps: human repro tests unlock 94.3% resolution while bare TDD prompting raises regressions 63% — maps over mantras.
Ship adaptive compaction for coding agents: fire at phase transitions, preserve five-field state, and hold 97.8% next-action accuracy at 0.3x cost.
Give monorepo coding agents structural repo maps: hybrid vector-graph indexes lift resolve 50.4% vs 41.9% over grep at lower cost per solve with refresh.
