What makes a model good for coding agents?
Reliable tool calling, structured output, enough context for the repo slice you send, and instructions it actually follows. Token price alone is a poor proxy.

Best coding model APIs for agents and code review
Compare coding model APIs by context length, tools, JSON output, latency, price, and what role they should play in production.
Para que serve esta shortlist?: Coding models
A model that completes a 20-line function is not the same product as a model that reads half a monorepo and calls tools. Output is expensive, tool calls fail in boring ways, and long context burns money. Use this page to pick a primary coding model and a cheaper fallback, then decide budget rules before agents run unsupervised.

How should teams control coding-agent cost?
Cap budgets per project, watch output tokens, and send simple tasks to cheaper models. Escalate only when quality checks fail.
