This doesn't seem to be controlling for the number of turns in any way. Am I missing something?

Stronger models needing fewer turns to achieve a task feels like a prime source of efficiency gains for agentic coding, more so than individual responses being shorter.

Has any enterprising hacker here yet graphed price vs "output" over time since 2023, taking "quality" into account?

That's got to be a very tricky analysis given how subjective quality is. But I'm sure there are people trying to pin it down.
