Tokenthon

High-volume AI API. 4.5x cheaper than OpenAI

Tokenthon launched on December 3, 2025 with 2 votes, #5,292 of 11,628 launches that month. The site was not reachable when checked in September 2026.

What it does

STOP paying full price for OpenAI API keys. 🛑 I got tired of the "pay-per-token" anxiety every time my apps got traffic. A sudden spike shouldn't blow your budget. So I built Tokenthon: The affordable flat-rate AI API for builders. We are 2x to 4.5x cheaper than OpenAI Direct. ✅ Our "GO" plan starts at just $3/month for 20,000 requests. ✅ 13,000 Token Context Window (practical for 95% of tasks). ✅ Native Async jobs & Caching built-in. ✅ Simple RESTful API (support polling + webhooks).

    Hi HN, I was once given the advice: Don't waste expensive frontier model credits (GPT/Claude/etc.) on bulk work. Send the boring, repetitive, high-volume jobs to a smaller model, and save the expensive prompts for when you actually need frontier-level reasoning. I complained and told my manager that I shouldnt have to think about using certain models for certain coding tasks, and that one model should handle everything. Well, here we are anyway. If anyone needs a place to absolutely abuse an LLM with high-volume tasks, come beat ours up at https://yolo-auto.com. Here are…

  • Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser. When I made HN Made of Primes I realized I could probably do this offline sqlite/wasm thing with the whole GBs of archive. The whole dataset. So I tried it, and this is it. Have Hacker News on your device. Go to this repo (https://github.com/DOSAYGO-STUDIO/HackerBook): you can download it. Big Query -> ETL -> npx serve docs - that's it. 20 years of HN arguments and beauty, can be yours forever. So they'll never die. Ever. It's the unkillable static archive of HN and it's…
