Nine ways to summarize agent ability
The quoted post points to a new write-up proposing nine different ways to summarize agent ability. It highlights the first metric: score at fixed expenditure—give each model the same budget in tokens or money, then compare the agent’s score.
The post frames this as a methodological question, not a product announcement: how to evaluate agents fairly when they can spend different amounts of compute and tokens.
