Semantic Redundancy: Eliminating No-Value Turns

Economics · updated Mon Feb 23

Stopping agents from wasting budget on conversational filler.

Steps

  1. Instruct agents to skip 'Politeness Headers' in API-only modes.
  2. Use 'Prompt Compression' to strip 15% of instruction tokens.
  3. Set a 'Utility Score' for every turn; kill turns with <0.1 value.
  4. Enforce a 'Direct Answer' policy in the system instructions.
  5. Cache common 'System Acknowledgments' to skip LLM generation.
