There is an answer- these tools should benchmark by cost per correct answer - not just tokens saved.

Comment #48591960
Would sincerely love to hear your thoughts on https://www.github.com/jahala/tilth - it’s a different approach than RTK, benchmarked to reduce cost per correct answer by ~40%

Loving the customer testimonials :D .. If someone feels like an eli5 - What are the use-cases for something like this?

Comment #48422652
Yup, this is hitting it on the nose. But, despite the cost - the benchmark is the vital ingredient that cant be skipped. Otherwise, you don't know if what you're building is actual…

I built tilth ( https://github.com/jahala/tilth ) much for this reason. Couldn't bother with RAG, but the agents kept using too many tokens - and too many turns - for finding what …

I got tired of copy-pasting between agents for simple coordination. Everything I found was a framework or a hosted service. I just needed them to talk. Walkie-Clawkie is a single J…
