Every Expensive Document Read Left a Cheaper Structure Behind
Agentic data cracking lets later questions reuse grounded structure extracted while an earlier agent was already reading the source.
Summary
Agentic data cracking lets later questions reuse grounded structure extracted while an earlier agent was already reading the source.
The method treats structuring as a byproduct of reasoning instead of a one-time preprocessing job. When an agent opens a document, a parallel cracking step uses the loaded context to extract grounded structure likely to help related queries. On an extended FanOutQA setup with one related follow-up per question, the authors report a 53 percent cost reduction while preserving accuracy. The study frames this as an early infrastructure result; coverage and savings depend on future questions reusing what prior work exposed.
