Zestyclose-Hunt8825 · reddit · 2026-08-11
A developer initiated a Reddit discussion focusing on the pain points of cost visibility for AI agents (e.g., built with LangGraph, CrewAI) in production. Key questions include how to accurately track the cost of a single run involving sub-agents and tool calls, how to catch unexpected expenses from infinite loops or context window blowups, and how to attribute costs across multiple workflows. The thread aims to uncover current coping strategies and tooling gaps among developers.
