Are you saying scripts from agents are deterministic? :)

  • Why don't you try to dispove me. Yes, they are _more_ deterministic than tool calls and consume less tokens.

    • There is nothing to disprove as you don't understand what does a word mean. Deterministic is not a spectrum, they can either be deterministic or not. In both cases, they are not.

They're talking about writing a file with a harness-native Edit tool. They're saying the agents aren't doing that, but are using ad-hoc methods of writing the files. (My agents seem to prefer see these days.)

  • Why do you think your agents prefer to create scripts instead of doing tool calls these days?

    I wonder, is it easier to modify a script that agent wrote before to satisfy your prompt, or is it easier to write a new one from scratch each time a retry happens?

    Are input tokens more expensive than output tokens?

    • My god. They are not reusing the scripts. They are adhoc, inline Python scripts just used to make a single edit. You seem to fundamentally not understand what everyone else is talking about
