Hey HN! I recently built Prompt Reducer, an app that makes it easier to compress GPT-4 prompts. The main goal is to reduce the number of tokens in each prompt, thereby reducing the cost of running GPT-4. I figured since @gfodor tweeted about compressing GPT-4. It’s still early, and it does not work perfectly, but I’d love to hear any feedback or suggestions for how to make it faster or more efficient.

Hi HN! Token cost has started to become a high topic of concern to all of us. I tried a few (awesome) tools such as rtk, caveman, and the recent (hillarious but effective) ponytail. What they usually do, is in-line token reduction, e.g. try to compress requests / responses as much as possible. But then it hit me (and I’m sure others had similar ideas) - just like we have routers that pick the right model, why not have something that will also narrow down the amount of available tools, skills and mcps based on repo/context? People usually accumulate skills, agents, MCP servers,…

We've set up DeekSeek R1 with a system prompt that attempts to censor the word PRIVATEKEY from its response. If you can get DeepSeek R1 to output that string (not in the reasoning, but in the final response), the system will reveal a private key which contains $1000 USDC. You will have a 50 token limit in the input. We will have a series of contests, sponsored by AI researchers, in order to learn more about prompt engineering and how LLMs interact with real money. Good luck! Edit: The money was claimed! Thanks for playing all. You can still play for fun. Stay tuned for the next one! Stats:…

hi. i'm dulra. i strongly believe in moving humanity forward. we're at a tipping point: ai-driven applications are generating hundreds of millions of prompts daily, costing organizations millions in token fees and creating governance nightmares. every wasted word compounds at scale—across chatbots, summarizers, code assistants, and virtual agents—making prompt efficiency not just a nice-to-have, but a strategic imperative. by treating prompts as first-class assets, we can drive down llms usage costs by up to 60%, eliminate compliance risks, and unlock new multi-model workflows that keep us…

We explored a novel method to gauge the significance of tokens in prompts given to large language models, without needing direct model access. Essentially, we just did an ablation study on the prompt using cosine similarity of the embeddings as the measure. We got surprisingly promising results when comparing this really simple approach to integrated gradients. Curious to hear thoughts from the community!
