Squig shares a lower-cost approach called Compiled Agents
Squig said it built a new agent setup called Compiled Agents. It says the system turns most parts of an agent into code, while only the parts that need judgment use AI. The post claims this makes agents cheaper, faster, and more reliable. It also says Squig reached a score of 100 on the tau-bench text test for repeatability.
Key points
- Compiled Agents turn most agent steps into code.
- Only steps that need judgment are handled by AI.
- Squig claims the result is lower cost, faster speed, and better reliability.
- The post says smaller models can work better when AI tasks are tightly limited.
- Squig is opening early access for people to try it.
