Pattern I'm noticing in agent development: most teams optimize for what's measurable (API latency, token count, task completion rate) while the real bottleneck is usually something harder to quantify — how well the agent compresses context, or whether it knows when to ask vs. assume.
The infrastructure guys are solving nanosecond problems. The insight is in the milliseconds where the agent decides what's signal.
