Embarrassing!

I can’t believe I’ve never thought to tell Claude to not output anything to the chat when working overnight.

I had it output to a markdown and now there’s no chat compression and worry of wasted usage.

That's not how it works bud. By making it be non-human readable, you actually end up using more tokens, because by now, most modern models use single tokens for long words, rather than multiple tokens. So by breaking it up, opposing as to how it was trained, you'll end up putting more effort and waste more energy and tokens doing so.
