Your Claude Code bill is mostly wasted context. I measured twelve runs to find how much of it you can actually cut — and what it costs you to try. In this video, THE NBX STUDIO breaks down what context-mode does, what it costs every turn, and the one rule that tells you whether it will pay for you ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 - A 15% cheaper bill? 00:17 - Context-mode, measured 00:27 - One window, shared by everything 00:54 - One file read, and it stays 03:24 - Two ways to count 04:16 - Two different questions 04:27 - Twelve cells, three runs each 05:59 - The code job, both arms 06:43 - It has to beat its own rent 07:31 - Cheaper is not righter 07:53 - Which half did the work? 08:35 - Copy the wording, but it is not a replacement 08:49 - Worth it when the session is heavy 09:03 - What this video did not test 09:21 - Their number, and yours 09:58 - Measure it on your own work 🔗 SOURCES & REFERENCES context-mode — github.com/mksglu/context-mode (Elastic-2.0), by Mert Koseoglu archify — github.com/tt-a1i/archify (MIT), the repository used as the test bed the same tokens, re-sent every turn github.com/mksglu/context-mode — Elastic-2.0 one measured turn — most of the window is a cache read measured from Claude Code's own session transcripts log task, Opus 5, three runs per arm 👇 SUBSCRIBE & WATCH NEXT If this saved you a search, subscribe to THE NBX STUDIO — new tech breakdowns every week.
