This article explains three distinct operational modes for running AI agent loops with differing latency and cost profiles, highlighting how harness engineering impacts agent performance more than model choice and detailing provider economics for each mode.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Agents and AI Infrastructure.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You need to rethink AI agent performance around how you run the loop, not just which model you pick. The right provider depends heavily on your latency and usage pattern—interactive work costs more per token while offline batch work cuts compute cost per hour.
