TurnCost: Turns, Not Observations: Cache-Aware Loop Engineering for Coding Agents

Researchers present TurnCost, a tool for re-scoring trajectory corpora of coding agents to optimize caching, pricing, and routing policies. The study analyzes 600 publicly released coding-agent trajectories and finds that turn count explains 84% of the variance in log trajectory cost, making unnecessary turns the larger opportunity for optimization.
