We Benchmarked Our Agent Against opencode: Same Task, Same Model, 40 Percent Fewer Credits
📰 Dev.to AI
Benchmarking coding agents for efficiency, a study reveals 40% fewer credits used by one agent compared to opencode for the same task and model
Action Steps
- Run a benchmarking experiment using the same task, model, and API with different coding agents
- Compare the credits used by each agent to complete the task
- Configure the agents with the same prompt and parameters to ensure a fair comparison
- Test the agents with multiple runs to account for variability
- Analyze the results to determine which agent is more efficient
Who Needs to Know This
Developers and AI engineers can benefit from understanding the efficiency of different coding agents to optimize their workflows and reduce costs
Key Insight
💡 Efficiency of coding agents can vary significantly, even with the same task and model, highlighting the need for benchmarking and comparison

Every coding agent says it is efficient. Almost none of them publish the bill. So we ran the boring experiment: the same bugfix, the same model, the same API, the same prices, and a byte identical prompt, once through opencode and once through the coding agent inside Locally Uncensored. Headline: opencode averaged 2157 credits over three runs. Our 2.6.6 agent finished the identical task for <strong
