🚨 Stop burning through your Claude credits.
This FREE open-source tool could dramatically reduce your AI costs.
Meet PXPipe.
A clever proxy that sits between Claude Code and Anthropic's API.
Here's the trick...
Claude charges text by tokens, but images are priced differently.
PXPipe converts your long system prompts and older conversation history into a compressed image, while keeping your active conversation as text.
Same context.
Far fewer billable tokens.
I tested how it works, and the results were impressive.
A demo from the project's maintainer showed the same Claude session costing:
💸 Without PXPipe → $42
💰 With PXPipe → $6
That's a huge reduction for developers who use Claude every day.
Setup takes about two minutes:
✅ Run the proxy command
✅ Point Claude Code to the proxy
✅ Keep coding while using fewer tokens
If you're building with Claude daily, this is one of those tools that's worth knowing about.
