Seeing “inference costs” in the headline feels honest — that’s the first wall you hit once the demo glow fades and someone asks for a budget. I’m curious whether the “agent reliability” talks get specific about user-facing failure modes like silent wrong actions or messy handoffs, not just benchmark scores.
