10 Tools for Token Optimization
Cut AI costs by 40-90%. CLI proxies, context sandboxing, cache compression, and smart model routing to keep your token budget under control.
Why Token Optimization Matters
60-90%
Token savings with rtk proxy
Intercepts common dev commands and strips redundant output before it reaches the LLM context window.
%
Context reduction with context-mode
Sandboxes tool output so only the relevant slice enters the context window, across 14 platforms.
$0.25/MTok
Cheapest model with smart routing
Route simple tasks to Haiku, code to Sonnet, architecture to Opus. Pay only for the intelligence you need.
rtk
rtk-aiCLI proxy that reduces LLM token consumption by 60-90% on common dev commands. Single Rust binary, zero dependencies.
context-mode
mksgluContext window optimization for AI coding agents. Sandboxes tool output, 98% reduction. 14 platforms.
