Budget ceilings belong in the harness itself. Use the Claude Agent SDK's ~25-turn-per-subagent default as a hard stop, Vercel AI SDK 6's stepCountIs(N), or a LangGraph checkpointer with explicit step budgets. A runaway agent should be bounded before it spends, not flagged after the invoice.

Domain: agent-patterns | Difficulty: intermediate | Source Three questions before choosing: (1) Can a single LLM solve this? (2) Can prompt chaining work? (3) Do multiple agents help? OpenAI Swarm for routing, Anthropic patterns for flexibility, LangGraph for production contro...
Your AI coding budget just got a lot harder to predict. A viral analysis on Hacker News (413 points, 396 comments) makes the case that every major AI lab has been running a loss-leader program, and the correction is starting. Two concrete dates matter. GitHub transitions all C...
Anthropic published implementation details for new autonomy features: a Checkpoint System that auto-saves state before every edit (revert with /rewind), a native VS Code extension beta, Background Tasks for persistent dev servers, and the Claude Code SDK officially renamed to...
Given everything above about token burn, this is the most immediately useful thing you can do this week. Anthropic's engineering team documented compaction: when a context window nears its ceiling, you high-fidelity-summarize it so the agent continues with minimal performance...
On September 10 OpenAI opened the Agents API to every developer as a public beta. It exposes what runs Codex as a managed service, and it covers most of the plumbing people have been writing by hand on top of the Responses API. The design has four parts: an Agent, an optional...
anthropics/commerce-agents is at 1.1k stars under Apache 2.0, pairing a customer-facing shopping agent with a back-office merchant agent, each implemented three ways: raw Messages API turn loop, Claude Agent SDK, and hosted Managed Agents with MCP servers. Four worked vertical...
