Companies Are Making Claude and Codex Talk Like Cavemen to Stop AI’s Soaring Costs
by JOSEPH COX
Companies are deliberately making their AI tools speak like cavemen in an attempt to stop burning through AI tokens and curb their massive expenditure on AI, 404 Media has found. The tool turns the usually verbose outpost of LLMs like Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini into a much more to the point answer. Think less “you’re right to push back, I was wrong,” and more “Hulk smash.”
Use of the caveman plugin is in direct response to the skyrocketing and unpredictable cost of AI.
