Caveman Cloud

For your team. See what your agents cost and cut it, hosted or in your VPC.

Your agent says less and reads less. The bill follows.

Says less

Shorter replies with the same intent, in every agent that loads skills.

65%

fewer output tokens

10 prompts, output only

Reads less

Logs, JSON, code and diffs shrink before the model reads them. The model can ask for the original.

Reads the web lighter

A page reaches the agent as the content it needs, not a full accessibility snapshot.

Numbers measured on your machine are labelled inferred. Only Cloud reports verified savings.

In the coding agent you run

Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini and 30+ more. One command each, on your own keys.
