If cost per delivery keeps climbing, it indicates the presence of ineffective loops or that task difficulty exceeds the Agent's capabilities—this is the signal that truly warrants investigation.

UnverifiedSetting Maximum Iteration too high may waste cost (tokens), while setting it too low may truncate the task before completion; it is a key parameter that requires trade-offs in Agent tuning.78% similarUnverifiedThe true cost of a task should also count the number of calls, the overhead of failed retries, the input bloat caused by context length, and the time spent manually reviewing weak-model outputs.78% similarUnverifiedIn agent workflows, if the token consumption of a task suddenly reaches 3 times that of adjacent tasks, it is usually not because the task is hard but because the task was split badly, with a vague specification causing the agent to repeatedly trial and error; high-scoring engineers treat cost anomalies as an alarm for specification problems.75% similarUnverifiedAs Agent autonomy increases and per-task calls grow, absolute Token usage will inevitably rise, but as long as task completion grows faster, cost per delivery will actually decline.75% similarUnverifiedJudging whether post-training is worthwhile requires considering the stability of the task data distribution; input distribution drift will cause the model to quickly become outdated and bring hidden maintenance costs.74% similar
