Agent Leaderboards Measure Score. We Added Price.

Agent Leaderboards Measure Score. We Added Price.

Short summary

Agent benchmarks rank performance but omit the cost per verified result. Analysis of 131 evaluation runs shows agents can differ by four orders of magnitude in cost while solving identical tasks—e.g., pytorch-model-cli ranges $0.001–$1.47 for the same verified outcome. A new Agent Taxonomy Graph dashboard layers cost data onto benchmark scores, enabling cost-conscious agent selection.

  • •Benchmarks show performance rankings but hide cost-per-verified-result
  • •131 evaluation runs reveal price spreads of 3–5 orders of magnitude for identical verified tasks
  • •New ATG dashboard surfaces cost + performance for informed agent selection
