A simple trick cuts your LLM costs by 50%!

Just stop using JSON and use this instead:

TOON (Token-Oriented Object Notation) slashes your LLM token usage in half while keeping data perfectly readable.

Here's why it works:

TOON's sweet spot: uniform arrays with consistent fields per row. It merges YAML's indentation and CSV's tabular structure, optimized for minimal tokens.

Look at the example below.

JSON:

{
"𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘀": [
{ "𝗶𝗱": 𝟭, "𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲": "𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲", "𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲": "𝗮𝗱𝗺𝗶𝗻" },
{ "𝗶𝗱": 𝟮, "𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲": "𝗕𝗼𝗯", "𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲": "𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿" }
]
}

Toon:

𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘀[𝟮]{𝗶𝗱,𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲,𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲}:
𝟭,𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲,𝗮𝗱𝗺𝗶𝗻
𝟮,𝗕𝗼𝗯,𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿

It's obvious how few tokens are being used to represent the same information!

To summarise, here are the key features:

💸 30–60% fewer tokens than JSON
🔄 Borrows the best from YAML & CSV
🤿 Built-in validation with explicit lengths & fields
🍱 Minimal syntax (no redundant braces, brackets, etc.)

IMPORTANT!!

That said, for deeply nested or non-uniform data, JSON might be more efficient.

In the next tweet, I've shared some benchmark results demonstrating the effectiveness of this technique in reducing the number of tokens and improving retrieval accuracy with popular LLM providers.

Where do you think this could be effective in your existing workflows?

@llamaonthebrink I have an idea how to fix the liquidity limitations if you wanna chat?

I'll do ya one better, you can literally run test scripts yourself in my toon MCP server: https://t.co/BEeA6KRNSp

Crazy how much more informed you can be by just reading the README file on the repo.

Armin is wrong here, the training data doesn't matter. TOON makes most models more accurate for lookup.

[Graham_space @Graham__space]

@maxtumin @saltyAom Check out my MCP for the test scripts

[Graham_space @Graham__space]

@natsukashixo @peach2k2 Exactly, mcps like mine that use toon or convert it to another human-readable format, it's the best way to optimize data input for now. Deepseek is working on just using images for context tho.

[Graham_space @Graham__space]

@natsukashixo @peach2k2 The issue is, csv and normal json can outperform it in these baby examples. It's probably just better to use them.

Bold prediction for 2026:

JavaScript will still be "dying" Python will still be "too slow" Rust will still be "the future" And PHP will still be running 70% of the internet

Tech Twitter predictions are entertainment, not strategy.

Build with what works. Ship fast. Make money.

The tech stack wars are won by those who ignore them.

I'm doing a case study interview for @ctodotnew on Monday, have anything interesting I should mention from your experience?

[Graham_space @Graham__space]

@AnthropicAI Well, if you're a government employee in Maryland....might wanna start sending out resumes.

@iyoushetwt "don't make mistakes"

[Graham_space @Graham__space]

@AnthropicAI This is why it's kinda silly when people glaze Chinese models so much, the reason why they can only spend 6 million on training (they actually just fine tune) is because I'm sure the intellectual theft rate is extremely high like other sectors.
