Key Points

  • Benchmarks on a local Qwen 3.5 122B setup found agent frameworks can waste roughly 350,000+ tokens per session by repeatedly resending static files.

Measured the actual token waste on a local Qwen 3.5 122B setup. The numbers are unreal. Found a compile-time approach that cuts query context from 1,373 tokens to 73. Also discovered that naive JSON conversion makes it 30% WORSE.
