Developer claims SQLite makes markdown 40x more token-efficient
Original: Show HN: Markdown is 40× more token-efficient with SQLite
A developer has shared a project claiming that storing markdown content in SQLite can cut token consumption by roughly 40 times, drawing attention on Hacker News. The claim, presented alongside a benchmark, is aimed at developers working with large language models who want to fit more context into limited token windows. Readers are debating the benchmark's methods and whether the gains hold up in real applications.
Why now: Interest in reducing LLM token costs and context limits is high, and a claimed 40x efficiency gain is a striking assertion worth scrutinising.
