Cut token costs by half
Without context, agents make mistakes and burn tokens on corrections. Unblocked gives them the full picture up front, so production-ready code costs less.
The experiment
We ran the same engineering task twice: once with Unblocked and once without it, using the same coding agent, codebase, and prompt.
Task: Introduce adaptive thinking mode for supported Claude 4.6 models while maintaining backwards compatibility with existing code using the deprecated budget_token method.
The results with Unblocked
Token savings
With full context on dependencies and consumption patterns, the agent produced code without expensive searching or discarded output.
Cost savings
Tokens translate to budget line items. At Claude Sonnet pricing, the same task cost $12 more. At scale across a team, that difference compounds quickly.
Reduced rework
With connected understanding of module dependencies, API consumption patterns, and backwards compatibility requirements, the agent produced production-ready code on its first attempt.
