Embedding RAG for Code Is Burning Tokens. AST Graphs Cut 99%
📰 Medium · RAG
Learn how to reduce token usage by 99% when searching through code using AST graphs instead of embedding RAG, and why this matters for coding agents' invoices
Action Steps
- Build an AST graph to represent code structure
- Configure the coding agent to query the graph instead of reading files sequentially
- Test the performance of the agent using the graph query method
- Compare the token usage between the two methods
- Apply the AST graph approach to your coding agent workflow
Who Needs to Know This
Developers, software engineers, and DevOps teams can benefit from this approach to optimize their coding agents' performance and reduce costs
Key Insight
💡 AST graphs can significantly outperform embedding RAG for code search tasks, reducing token usage and costs
