FAQPage Schema
How do I reduce token usage in AI responses while keeping technical accuracy?

Ultra-compact communication mode reduces token usage by delivering terse, high-signal responses that strip non-essential fluff. This mechanism preserves technical accuracy while significantly lowering token consumption across your AI interactions.

What are the different intensity levels for terse AI responses?

Terse AI responses support intensity levels including lite, full, ultra, wenyan-lite, wenyan-full, and wenyan-ultra. These levels provide varied verbosity and style options to control the exact compactness of the generated output.

How do I activate caveman mode for concise prompt instructions?

To activate caveman mode for concise prompt instructions, use specific trigger phrases like caveman mode or /caveman. The system also auto-triggers when token efficiency is requested, automatically applying your default intensity settings.

Does the caveman mode setting persist across multiple AI interactions?

Caveman mode maintains persistence across interactions once activated. It enforces your selected intensity level and default settings throughout the session, ensuring consistent terse, precise responses until you change the preference.

When should I avoid using ultra-compact communication mode?

You should avoid ultra-compact communication mode when your task requires a conversational tone, detailed explanations, or high-level context. The terse, no-fluff design prioritizes token efficiency over conversational nuance.
