ChatGPT API cost reduction

Reduce ChatGPT API costs with query-aware compression

ChatGPT and the OpenAI API bill by tokens. SuperCompress cuts oversized chat history, RAG chunks, and agent dumps before the call so ChatGPT answers from less junk — without losing answer evidence.

Where your ChatGPT costs come from

A typical agent making 1,000 calls/day with 4,000-token prompts burns real ChatGPT / OpenAI budget on filler context. Compressing by ~64% drops input spend by the same ratio while keeping answer-critical evidence.
