Beaker makes production agents 37% faster and 35% cheaper, claims the model isn't the bottleneck
VictorSanh · x · 2026-11-13
AI engineer Victor Sanh argues production agents are slow not because of the model but the scaffolding around it: repeated doc lookups, bloated tool outputs, and unnecessary LLM calls. Beaker (@withbeaker) autonomously proposes agent optimizations, experiments with each on your use case, and keeps only what works. Reported result: an App World agent became 37% faster and 35% cheaper with no performance loss. Includes a blog post and a free analysis offer.
