What We Learned Moving Our Agent Loops from Anthropic to GLM (getunblocked.com)

It makes sense to take cost per task more important than cost per token, but for long running tasks, are more appropriate indicator could be "cost per accepted outcome". Because for a task, it is hard to say:

What is the boundary of the task?

Do we count failure and retry as the same task?

What if the result "looks" good but rejected by the user?

How do we measure the extra human effort for verifying and resuming when using the cheap model?

In my opinion, "cost" means more than the direct token usage of a finished task.

Finally an evaluation that go beyond benchmarks. Thanks for sharing details and takeaways.

I wonder how you come you opted for GLM; how did the selection process look like?
