The Hidden Token Bill of AI Coding Agents: Why More Tokens Don’t Guarantee Better Results

An analysis of eight frontier coding agents shows that token consumption in agentic coding tasks is highly variable, often orders of magnitude higher than simple code reasoning, and that spending more tokens does not reliably improve accuracy, with significant differences across models and limited predictability of costs.
