A single agentic task can burn around 100k tokens against maybe 1k for a simple prompt, and most of that gap is not new reasoning. It's the agent re-reading the same context every step because nothing persists between them. Fix memory and a big share of that token bill goes away before you ever reach for a bigger GPU. This is something we've been thinking a lot about as we build out persistent memory systems for our production agents.(Sahara AI 🔆)
