AI Agent Benchmark Costs Revealed: $5.74 to $9.30 Per Isolated Run
PawelHuryn · x · 2026-10-14
Pawel Huryn published cost data for his AI agent benchmark: three isolated runs cost $5.74, $6.43, and $9.30 respectively. Each run executes in a separate folder from an empty session with a simple prompt, sharing only the system prompt depending on the harness implementation—so no warm prefix cache is inflating or deflating the numbers. The full dataset is available on GitHub via the benchmark website.
