Why it matters
Both talks are about operating agents at scale rather than demoing them, which is where token spend and reliability problems actually surface once an agent is wired into real internal tools.
The tokenmaxxing angle
Deterministic coordination around agent output is a routing strategy: it constrains where non-deterministic, token-hungry model calls are allowed to touch, which is the same problem as picking when to route to a cheaper step.
