You can configure the status line to get a feel for token usage:

[Opus 4.6] 3% context | last: 5.2k in / 1.1k out

add this to .claude/settings.json

"statusLine": { "type": "command", "command": "jq -r '\"[\\(.model.display_name)] \\(.context_window.used_percentage // 0)% context | last: \\(((.context_window.current_usage.input_tokens // 0) / 1000 * 10 | floor / 10))k in / \\(((.context_window.current_usage.output_tokens // 0) / 1000 * 10 | floor / 10))k out\"'" }

Here's how I would market this:

Create "packages" of context for popular API & Libraries - make them freely available via public url

Keep the packages up to date. They'll be newer than the cutoff date for many models, and they'll be cleaner then the data a model slurps in using web search.

Voila, you're now the trusted repository of context for the developer community.

You'll get a lot of inbound traffic/leads, and ideas for tangential use cases with commercial potential.

"The takeover of io will provide OpenAI with about 55 hardware engineers, software developers and manufacturing experts"

6.5B / 55 = $118 million per engineer

not a cheap aquihire

Perplexity got ads 2 years ago

how long before the advertisers pressure model providers to "fine-tune" mentions of their competitors?

OpenAI gets the data it needs, and publishers get prominent placement in the product:

"PPP members will see their content receive its “richer brand expression” through a series of content display products: the branded hover link, the anchored link and the in-line treatment."

There's some similarity to the search business model

are there any open source solutions in this space? something that sits in front of your API as a proxy, and has an interface for managing access, rate limits, billing etc - with simple deployment to a cloud provider?

your values change as you age, so if you're repeating the same old activities and feeling drained - it's time for change

recall the excitement you had as a child, as a teenager, a young adult - this will yield clues as to what might spark your energy again

as others have mentioned, movement and exercise are simple hacks to improve mood quickly
