To capture meaningful signals, the author used the 24-task 'easy' subset of TB-Lite, repeating each task 3 times (72 trials per model×harness combination), measuring mean reward against mean input/output tokens and total agent runtime. No clear winner emerges from this comparison, prompting a deeper look at how prompt size evolves over turns.
