Pipeline notes

The summary and note below are generated by the signal pipeline — they are Beyond Desk’s reading, not quotations from the source.

AgentBaton studies handoffs between capable, costly models and efficient, lower-cost models during long-horizon agent tasks. Across 11 model pairs and two benchmarks, a detector trained on recurring task-progress patterns selects handoff points, cutting API costs by 65.9% on average while largely preserving accuracy and sometimes improving it.

Provides comparative evidence on handoff direction and context transfer, plus a lightweight timing mechanism applicable to multi-model agent pipelines.
