11-6: AI Agent Orchestration Economics
Evaluate multi-agent swarms versus monolithic LLM loops, and model the exponential token expansion of autonomous execution.
🎯 What You'll Learn
- ✓ Calculate autonomous token burn
- ✓ Compare CrewAI vs AutoGen compute overhead
- ✓ Implement infinite loop circuit breakers
The Context Window Re-Submission Tax
A standard chatbot request sends exactly what the user typed to the server once. An autonomous agent loops continuously, re-submitting its entire short-term memory (previous actions, tool outputs, interim thoughts) back to the LLM on every iteration.
Because LLMs charge by the token for inputs, early agent frameworks implicitly create geometric cost expansions. Step 1 costs $0.01. Step 5 costs $0.08. Step 15 costs $0.40.
Failing to strictly bound the `max_iterations` or constrain the context payload being passed internally means an agent struggling with a task can silently burn hundreds of dollars before crashing.
The percentage increase in input tokens per agentic cognitive loop.
The fully loaded API cost to complete one high-level user instruction automatically.
