Why I tried to kill token billing (and why we kept it) (opens on the source site)
Stripe ·
Token billing is useful infrastructure, but usually a bad customer-facing pricing model. Your invoice should define the value your product delivers, not break down what it cost you to create it.
How Instagram Direct engineers built AI-native UI architecture with Jetpack Compose and reduced token cost per agent session by 33% (opens on the source site)
Android ·
Posted by Pavlo Stavytskyi, Software Engineer, Meta and Rebecca Franks, Developer Relations Engineer, Google This blog post is written in collaboration with the Meta team. Instagram Direct is one of the core surfaces on Instagram, handling billions of user messages every single day. Over years of iteration, the team squeezed every micro-optimization possible out of the legacy Android View system. However, maintaining and expanding a heavily optimized legacy surface creates significant technical debt and engineering overhead, especially as teams increasingly adopt declarative UI and AI coding…

AI Gateway Production Index — September 2026 Every month, AI Gateway routes tens of trillions of tokens between production applications and AI labs. That traffic gives us a view of what AI usage actually looks like in today's enterprise, and we publish it here monthly. See the Production Index reports from June, July, and August. Copy link to headingSeptember 2026 summary The September index reports on AI Gateway data collected through August 2026. Open-weight models ran the majority of gateway tokens for the first time, up from 7% in December to 56% in August. The average token costs less…

From token consumer to token provider: Building your org's AI API (opens on the source site)
Red Hat ·
One of the biggest problems with AI right now is that it's expensive. If you've been anywhere near an enterprise IT budget in the last 2 years, then you already know that. Most companies that wanted to get AI into their workflows did the same thing: They signed up for a business account with an AI provider, handed out API keys, and started building. It made sense at the time because the models were good, the APIs were simple, and the alternative was standing up your own inference infrastructure, which nobody had bandwidth for. But then the bills started coming in. The post From token consumer…

Graft for Claude Code: Cutting Token Use by 42% in Practice (opens on the source site)
Graft is open-source hooks for Claude Code that reduce task tokens by 42% in controlled benchmarks (8,070 to 4,650 mean tokens), cutting cost from $0.0429 to $0.0292 per task. Hooks intercept grep calls, optimize context, improve SWE-bench Verified from 54% to 66%. Article explains how Graft works, install/config, and whether the 42% claim applies to your workflow.

How does programming language affect token efficiency and correctness? (opens on the source site)
Dan Luu ·
This somewhat widely cited post (I keep seeing it cited, anyway) suggests that dynamic languages and/or languages that represent things more concisely are more token efficient. It seems to be cited enough that LLM search results agree. For example, when I searched for "dynamic vs static language token cost" (no quotes), Google's AI summary opened with Dynamically typed languages generally have a lower LLM token cost than traditional statically typed languages because omitting explicit type declarations makes the code more compact. Google's AI cited the same post, which suggests that some…
What Is a Token? A Developer’s Guide to Every Type (opens on the source site)
If you’re an API or application developer, you likely hear the term “token” a lot. However, that term has entirely different meanings depending on the developer and the industry. Maybe you’re a developer who just implemented token-based authentication or found out the AI agent you built uses far too many LLM tokens. Perhaps you’re experimenting ...
Enforce Access Token Expiry Policies in Pulumi Cloud (opens on the source site)
Pulumi ·
Pulumi Cloud organizations can now enforce a maximum expiry on the access tokens used against them. Organization admins can set a cap in days, and from that point on, personal, organization, and team tokens operating on resources in the org must carry an expiration within the cap for requests to succeed. Tokens that never expire, or that have too much lifetime remaining, get rejected with an error that tells the user exactly how to regain access. Why cap token lifetimes Many organizations already have a credential rotation policy that says tokens must expire, but until now, Pulumi Cloud could…
Scaling HAProxy on AKS for Billions of Transactions with Dynamic Autoscaling and Token Management (opens on the source site)
Haptik ·
At our scale, we needed to handle billions of transactions efficiently - routing across multiple environments and internal data centers - while maintaining reliability, security, and dynamic control. To achieve this, we chose HAProxy, a proven, high-performance load balancer known for its lightweight footprint, flexibility, and ability to handle massive concurrency with minimal overhead. This blog walks you through how we deployed HAProxy in high-availability (HA) mode on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) -complete with autoscaling powered by KEDA, seamless integration with Azure Application…
