## Content

Alguém enviou um print de código ao Fable e os tokens caíram mais da metade. Anthropic cobra imagem 1568px a custo fixo. Com fonte densa, ~40k caracteres podem sair ~3.279 tokens de imagem.

[pxpipe](https://lnkd.in/gnRhbNS3): ~59% de economia em 13.709 requests. Fable 5 se segura em imagem; Opus cai. Mantenha IDs/hash em texto. `npx pxpipe-proxy` para testar.
