Arena says Agent Arena now ranks agents by performance per output token and per minute of wait, in addition to task spend.
In a post announcing the change, Arena says the same level of intelligence can cost 10 times more, need six times more output tokens, and take twice as long. Its usage plots show cost rises most steeply with intelligence, while output tokens barely predict the bill.
