Rohan Paul(@rohanpaul_ai):Boris Cherny, head of Claude Code at Anthropic, on optimizing token cost and model use. “I use Fable for everything" There is probably a 50% opportunity to reduce the investment (on token cost). However, there may be a 1,000%, 10,000%, or even 100,000% opportunity to increase the return. Therefore, I would simply use the most expensive model and focus on how to get more out of it. Ask yourself, ‘How do I increase the return?’ Do not focus primarily on cost-cutting." ---- From "Scale" YouTube channel, (full video link in comment)
