ADK 2.0 graph workflows beat imperative loops on token and context efficiency
rseroter · x · 2026-07-23
A post about workflow design argues that stateful loops can burn through tokens and saturate context very quickly.
The linked material says Balaji found that declarative graph workflows are more efficient than imperative loops in ADK 2.0.
The core takeaway is an engineering one: if your agent workflow keeps re-feeding full history every cycle, token growth compounds fast; a graph-style approach can reduce that overhead.
