Claude Code is the fastest agent framework but costs nearly three times more than the cheapest rival
Composio benchmarked Deepseek V4 Flash across four agent frameworks on 30 tasks. Claude Code achieved the fastest performance but cost $0.195 per task, nearly triple OpenCode's $0.073.
Composio recently evaluated four distinct agent frameworks using the Deepseek V4 Flash model. The assessment covered 30 real-world tasks designed to measure practical utility.
While success rates remained consistent across the board, financial efficiency varied considerably. OpenCode proved to be the most budget-friendly option among the tested solutions.
Claude Code demonstrated high operational efficiency by minimizing tool calls and output tokens. Despite this optimization, its per-task cost reached $0.195, significantly higher than competitors.
This data underscores the complexity of choosing AI infrastructure. Teams must weigh execution speed against direct operational expenses when integrating agent-based systems.
