Asana cuts model costs 76x in browser tests with GPT-6.1 Sol
Asana's StackAI browser agent became 76x cheaper and 5x faster in tests, after GPT-6 Astra in Codex ran a 144-run study across four models. The fixes were caching the growing browsing history, a larger history budget (480,000 characters) and removing screenshots in batches of 20. Average estimated cost fell to $0.47 per run on GPT-6.1 Sol, and all 18 runs answered correctly.
TL;DR Asana used Codex with GPT-6 Astra to test history caching and screenshot pruning, cutting browser agent cost 76x and runtime 5x.
