cost performance tradeoffs

Single agents averaged 67 successful tasks per 1,000 tokens. Centralized multi-agent systems managed just 21" — Provides quantitative evidence that token efficiency varies dramatically by architecture

We wrote a post at Hedgineer benchmarking each effort level by cost and time" — Article provides empirical benchmarking evidence comparing effort levels across cost and latency dimensions, directly su

Paper directly addresses efficiency-performance tradeoffs by routing to cheaper models for simple queries and expensive ones for complex queries.
