Summary
According to a post on X by @arena, Arena analyzed more than 26,000 Agent Arena sessions and found the top 10 agents process roughly 93 input tokens per output token. The post says this is why labs are racing to cut the price of cached input. Arena also published a video using real Opus 5.5 and Gemini 4 Argon sessions to show how caching works. The source excerpt is cut off, so the full analysis was not visible.

Why it matters
For teams building AI agents, the cost of re-reading context can be a larger share of spend than the cost of generating output, according to the excerpt's framing. Developers who track cached input pricing from model providers may need to recheck their cost estimates. Next, watch whether labs cut cached input prices and whether Arena publishes the full analysis.
