    While "burning tokens" isn't necessarily a good thing, I thought it worthwhile to throw together a quick leaderboard to track the dev setups of the top HN token burners. Jesse (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Vincent), Wes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wes_McKinney), and Harper (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harper_Reed) are using it to report their Claude/Codex usage.

    Hey HN, I'm Anurag, founder and CEO of Render, a cloud for application developers. We've just launched Render Workflows, a way to define durable tasks by decorating plain TypeScript or Python functions and running them on Render without operating queues, worker pools, retry logic, and state management. Code example below [1]. The use cases we have in mind include agent loops, ETL/data pipelines, billing flows, and other long-running jobs. The model is simple: mark an existing function as a Task, deploy the repo as a Workflow, then trigger runs from your application code or via our API.…

    Burner▲206

    I'm Cameron, one of the founders at Arx Research. Last year we launched Burner, an easy to use and low cost NFC-based hardware wallet that supports Ethereum and Bitcoin. This week we're announcing Burner Terminal, a point of sale device designed for native tap to pay stablecoin payments. While there are a number of projects that have allowed for cryptocurrency and stablecoin payments via QR code over the years, we believe that in most developed markets the user experience of contactless cards has won for retail payments. We saw some early interest in using Burner for tap payments, however,…

    TokenDagger is a drop-in replacement for OpenAI’s Tiktoken (the tokenizer behind Llama 3, Mistral, GPT-3.*, etc.). It’s written in C++ 17 with thin Python bindings, keeps the exact same BPE vocab/special-token rules, and focuses on raw speed. I’m teaching myself LLM internals by re-implementing the stack from first principles. Profiling TikToken’s Python/Rust implementation showed a lot of time was spent doing regex matching. Most of my perf gains come from a) using a faster jit-compiled regex engine; and b) simplifying the algorithm to forego regex matching special tokens at all.…

    Built this after realizing I was spending ~$1400/week on Claude Code with almost no visibility into what was actually consuming tokens. Tools like ccusage give a cost breakdown per model and per day, but I wanted to understand usage at the task level. CodeBurn reads the JSONL session transcripts that Claude Code stores locally (~/.claude/projects/) and classifies each turn into 13 categories based on tool usage patterns (no LLM calls involved). One surprising result: about 56% of my spend was on conversation turns with no tool usage. Actual coding (edits/writes) was…

    Hi everyone, I just released an open source load testing tool for LLMs: https://github.com/twerkmeister/tokenflood === What is it and what problems does it solve? === Tokenflood is a load testing tool for instruction-tuned LLMs hat can simulate arbitrary LLM loads in terms of prompt, prefix, and output lengths and requests per second. Instead of first collecting prompt data for different load types, you can configure the desired parameters for your load test and you are good to go. It also let's you assess the latency effects of potential prompt parameter changes before…
