Agent orchestration can reduce costs and latency
Published on July 13, 2026, the paper reports lower costs and latency with equivalent quality across 22 tasks and six models after changing orchestration.

What happened and what to do
Published on July 13, 2026, the paper examines how an agent harness—the orchestration layer—affects token use and enterprise costs. In tests covering 22 tasks and six models, changing orchestration reduced cost and latency while maintaining equivalent quality; the paper does not state the size of the reductions.
For a company, this suggests measuring and comparing orchestration configurations in addition to assessing model choice. An implementation could record tokens, latency, and quality by task, compare alternatives on a representative test set, and monitor costs in production.
How the consultancy can help
Wendelmaques can diagnose agent architecture and costs, define an evaluation scope, and implement instrumentation, comparative tests, and operational monitoring suited to the company’s environment.
