Evaluating compressed prompts just got easier. You can now compare LLM outputs before and after compression in our Compression sandbox to directly evaluate your use case.

An AI application client of ours has saved $10k worth of LLM tokens within a week of integrating. Their approach is just to compress ~3% of inputs removing the absolutely most useless tokens achieving full accuracy with extra cost savings. With their volume, all of this adds up. Had to 10X rate limits. Now back to work.

i built a plugin that saves you hundreds of dollars in @opencode by using the @thetokenco compression model, it shrinks the amount of tokens in your input query before hitting the models the queries are faster and cheaper, all while maintaining output quality

The Token Company (@thetokenco) builds LLM input optimization to lower costs, reduce latency, and improve accuracy. Congrats on the launch, @OtsoVeistera! ycombinator.com/launches/Pb3-t…

LLM input optimization is super interesting space and there are so many avenues you can go to figure out the perfect prompt. We are only 5% there

Compression absolutely crushed SEC filings Does anyone actually read these? I don't know, but we let our bear-1.2 LLM compression model do that on FinanceBench (150 real SEC filing questions) Bro got up to 84.7% accuracy (vs 82% baseline) with 20% token reduction. Saves costs, boosts speed, crushes financial analysis Removing bloat makes the model perform better

Incredibly excited about this! 🔥🔥🔥

You're wasting half your context window. We’re launching @thetokenco (YC W26) today. We compress LLM inputs before they reach the model. Fewer tokens, lower cost, faster inference. Models also perform better. In customer case studies we’ve seen a +5% lift in user purchases due to higher preference for outputs from compressed prompts. The API is live. Link in the comments
