Claude / Anthropic cost reduction

Reduce Claude API costs before the model call

The fastest way to cut Anthropic Claude spend is to stop sending tokens the model does not need. SuperCompress compiles long context around the current question before the Claude API call.

Where your Claude costs come from

A typical agent making 1,000 calls/day with 4,000-token prompts burns real Anthropic Claude budget on filler context. SuperCompress is query-aware extractive selection: it keeps original lines that answer this question and drops the rest. Measure original_tokens / kept_tokens (or tokens_saved) on your traffic. Published suites live on /benchmarks.

How to measure the cut

Every compress response returns original_tokens, kept_tokens, and tokens_saved. Use those fields on your own Claude traffic instead of a marketing savings table. Hosted API + MCP, wired into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and other agents via npm install -g supercompress-proxy && supercompress setup.
