cheaper models or lower reasoning effort, fewer LLM calls, caching, pruning, compaction, sub-agents, etc.

Why this topic matters

Agents are expensive to run, so sooner or later you’ll want to bring your agent's cost down. Doing this effectively, without compromising on quality, is an important skill.
