BAVT: Budget-Aware Value Tree Cuts Wasted Tool Calls.
Story
Models multi-hop agent reasoning as a dynamic search tree, transitioning from exploration to exploitation as token budget depletes. Includes formal convergence proof. Directly applicable to any agent loop burning tokens on redundant calls. arXiv 2603.12634
