Optimizing coding agent usage and costs

Braintrust has introduced Coding Agent Insights in public preview to help teams trace, inspect, and reduce the costs of coding-agent sessions by identifying inefficient patterns such as incorrect test commands, repeated failed edits, or missing repository instructions. The dashboard tracks token use and costs across developers, models, tools, branches, and API keys, while allowing users to inspect individual sessions or ask the Loop assistant to investigate activity in natural language. Teams can schedule analyses that detect recurring issues, organize sessions with Topics, review findings in Patterns, and use supporting evidence to improve agent instructions, skills, or tools. The product emphasizes measuring results through comparable tasks, focusing on reduced failed attempts and model costs rather than aggregate weekly spending alone. It supports tracing integrations for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Pi, Antigravity, and Grok, and is available to Braintrust SaaS and BYOC customers, with self-hosted availability beginning with dataplane 2.13.
