A new research paper from arXiv explores the physical costs associated with context management in coding agents. The study introduces a quality-gated protocol to measure the energy and time expenditure of these agents, considering not just prompt tokens saved but also call counts and prefix reuse. Experiments on SWE-rebench V2 and SWE-bench datasets indicate that while certain caching and history compaction strategies can reduce model calls and energy consumption, others, like deleting history, can paradoxically increase work and lead to missed quality gates.
