    Reddit ends RSS feeds and public API access citing AI bots●Reddit is killing RSS feeds and ending public API access because of AI bots | TechCrunchMmastodon25910 min ago

    Reddit is ending support for RSS feeds and tightening public API access, citing the need to stop AI bots from scraping its content. The company continues to restrict access to its vast trove of user-generated discussions, part of a broader strategy to charge for its data and protect it from being used to train AI models. Users and developers who rely on feeds and open access are expected to be affected.

    New CLI tool compresses tokens to cut Codex and Astra costs●Show HN: Token compression CLI to save Codex/Astra costsYhnLifeEducation8just now

    A developer has released a command-line tool that compresses tokens before they are sent to AI coding assistants such as Codex and Astra, aiming to lower API costs. The launch has drawn attention on the Hacker News community, where users are weighing whether the compression approach can genuinely reduce billing without hurting model output quality.

    A developer is warning that OpenCode's model whitelist is effectively a list of promises made by other people's APIs, and that the list is slowly rotting as providers change or drop endpoints. A small tool called ocprobe has been introduced to check which models still actually work, highlighting how fragile dependency on third-party APIs can be for open-source coding tools.

    Reddit will discontinue its RSS feeds on 13 November and end public API access by March 2027, citing heavy scraping by AI bots. Moderators are being advised to use Discord Relay Devvit, but no replacement exists for external feeds. Old Reddit access will also be restricted to recent users, closing off further workarounds for third-party tools and readers.

    A developer has launched a Show HN project that places a fine-tuned Qwen model as a proxy layer between coding agents and their tools. The layer compresses tool-call output before it reaches the language model, cutting input tokens and lowering API spending. Hackaday flagged the project, and it is drawing attention from developers interested in cheaper LLM workflows.

    Anthropic's Claude has launched a Compliance API that routes user conversations to more than 100 third-party security and monitoring tools. The feature is aimed at enterprises that need audit trails and oversight of AI use, but it has raised questions about how widely chat data is shared beyond the company itself.
