LLM struggles with token limits on test coverage tasks

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user on Mastodon is encountering issues with large language models (LLMs) consuming all their tokens when attempting to improve end-to-end test coverage. They note that this task, which seems straightforward, is proving resource-intensive across three different models, including frontier models. The problem is exacerbated when splitting the work among multiple agents, leading to even longer processing times. AI

IMPACT Highlights potential inefficiencies and token consumption issues in current LLMs for practical development tasks.

    Why does a seemingly mundane task for an LLM to perform like improving E2E test coverage consistently consume all my tokens on 3 different models 2 of them being frontier. Splliting up the work across agents makes it take even longer. Anyone have any tips? # ai # llm
