Building AGC

Bad news for your Anthropic bill. Good news if you’re on https://t.co/lfqKfOiFsA

everyone’s celebrating the new opus. nobody’s mentioning it quietly raised your bill the second you upgraded.

same code. same prompts. same work. but the new tokenizer counts about 34% more tokens. and you pay per token. it’s in anthropic’s own docs.

we built @densechat for exactly this. strip the tokens your agent no longer needs. your bill lands lower than before the new model existed.

new generation. old problem. already fixed.

new benchmark drops next week.
