Guides, data, and strategies to help you code with AI more efficiently.
Tokens are the currency of AI. Understanding how tokenization works helps you write cheaper, faster prompts — and stops you being surprised by your bill.
Simple changes to how you phrase prompts can dramatically reduce input tokens without losing response quality. We tested each technique with real token counts.
Every message you send includes system prompts, conversation history, and tool definitions you never see. This "overhead" is often the majority of your actual cost.
Different input types have wildly different token rates. A single image can cost as much as 1,000 words of text. Here's the full breakdown.
Small changes to how you write prompts can dramatically improve output quality while using fewer tokens. Based on real usage data from Kontinuity users.
After 50+ messages, AI models start contradicting earlier decisions. We explain why it happens and how to detect and fix it before you waste hours going off-track.
