  1. Reasoning effort, not tool access, buys first-try reliability in agentic code generation: an observational study

    Source note ·

    A study comparing different agentic coding assistants found that the level of reasoning effort, rather than the available tools, significantly impacts the reliability and first-try success rate of software generation…
