Things I wish I knew earlier about Claude token usage

A few weeks ago, I shared some tips on my Claude Code workflow. In the comments, quite a few people mentioned that they were burning through their tokens super fast and tbh I could totally relate. This is something I particularly struggled with at the beginning, which pushed me to take a closer look at it. Turns out most of my token usage wasn't coming from Claude's answers, but from the setup. Things I actually use: * **Start a new chat for unrelated tasks.** Every message in a long conversation resends the full history. That's not obvious until I realize a 40-message thread is burning tok...

Anthropic just got 220,000 GPUs from the man who called Claude "misanthropic and evil" Three months ago....

The compute is real. The implications are stranger than the headline suggests. Colossus 1 which is 220,000 Nvidia GPUs, 300+ megawatts, is now running Claude inference. Anthropic moved fast: Claude Code limits doubled overnight, peak-hour caps removed, Opus API rates up. For anyone who's been hitting walls, this is immediately tangible. But the deal deserves more scrutiny than it's getting. Musk included a clause reserving SpaceX's right to reclaim the compute if Claude "engages in actions that harm humanity." That's not standard infrastructure boilerplate. That's a kill switch written int...

My Claude dreams at night and remembers everything. Better than mempalace.

Back in January I got tired of the same thing everyone complains about now you start a new session with Claude and it has no idea who you are. Every time. From scratch. So I built iai-mcp. A local daemon that captures every conversation, organizes it into three memory tiers, and feeds the right context back when you start a new session. No "remember this." No copy-pasting from old chats. It just knows.                                                        I've been using it daily with Claude Code since January. Five months. At this point it knows my coding style, my project structures, my ...

Potential payment info leak

Hi, A few hours ago we started seeing unauthorized charges coming out of our company card. This card was only provided when purchasing Claude Max. By sheer luck, we blocked the card after the first transaction. Since then there have been 5 more attempted charges. All of them were to random services like Auto Glass and Walmart, most showing Memphis in the header. Check your cards.

Claude just saved me from sending money to a scammer and now I feel 90 years old

I’ve been using Claude mostly for coding and summarizing boring work docs, but today it accidentally became my cyber security therapist. I got an email from what looked exactly like one of my vendors asking me to update payment info for an invoice. Same writing style, same signature, referenced a real project, everything. I was literally about to send the payment when something felt slightly off, but I couldn’t explain why. Out of curiosity I pasted the email into Claude and asked if anything looked suspicious. It immediately pointed out a bunch of manipulation tactics I completely missed, ...

I paused, went to eat, took shower, 1 prompt later, 45% (8 mins into a new session)

I was working on a project, I got hungry went to eat and take a shower while also having this be my break, came back, session was at 0%, typed to claude that the animation of the CSS needs to be slower and more subtle, he changed it, 45% usage. Nowhere did it warn me that possibly cache was cold or that I would be consuming a lot of tokens to CONTINUE a chat that I didn't close on the same PC. So now I have to slow down my work and wait for this 5 hour cycle to end to properly speed up my progress.
