Efficiency
Domain: Agent Fundamentals
🎯 Motivation
Minimizing wasted resources - tokens, time, API calls - while achieving the goal. Efficient agents do more with less.
📋 Concrete Example
Inefficient: 50 API calls to write a simple function. Efficient: 5 API calls with better planning. Efficiency means choosing the right actions, avoiding redundant steps, and using cheaper models when possible.
🔗 Analogy
Fuel-efficient driving - smooth acceleration, planning routes, not idling. You reach the same destination using less fuel. Efficient agents reach the same goal using fewer resources.
