DeepSWE's harness comparison made me curious, so I tried mini-swe-agent myself on a matched set of debugging tasks with GPT-5.6 SOL at High reasoning.

What if an agent spent less time going back to the model, but did much more useful work inside each turn?
That is the idea I have been testing...

Here is the simple idea. A normal coding agent may use five separate LLM turns for one predictable workflow.
Turn 1 — inspect

Hi, I’m Yu. Earlier this month I released Tura and wrote about why agent harnesses need long-horizon benchmarks, not just one-off demos.
Over the past two weeks, I’ve seen more people publish tests of token-saving tools such as RTK and Ponytail. Tha...

I ran 280+ Codex CLI sessions with GPT-5.6 Sol. In the current build, fewer commands per model turn can mean more turns and more cached-input cost.
Most benchmarks favor 5.6 Sol on cost...

Claims such as “90% less output” or “50% less context” are useful diagnostics, but they do not answer the question that matters for a coding agent: did the complete, verified task become cheaper?
I ran a small matched experiment to see how different...
