Lean Ctx slashes LLM token consumption by 99%

ANNOUNCEMENT PRODUCT GITHUB PRODUCT HUNT YOUTUBE

Lean Ctx is a Rust-based hybrid context optimizer that reduces LLM token consumption using shell hooks and an MCP server. It employs specialized protocols for cognitive efficiency and cross-session memory to keep context windows lean and focused while providing agents with persistent task history.

// ANALYSIS

Lean Ctx treats LLM context as a protocol design problem rather than just raw text, bypassing the bloat of standard formats like JSON.

–Reduces token costs by 89-99% via specialized compression, AST-based chunking, and custom shorthand
–Context Continuity Protocol (CCP) provides persistent memory across sessions, a major win for stateless agents
–TDD (Token Dense Dialect) uses symbol shorthand for extremely high information density and reduced "thinking" tokens
–Built in Rust with zero dependencies, making it fast and easy to install across environments
–MCP server integration with 24 tools allows it to be used in Cursor, Windsurf, or custom agents

ElevenLabs launches Music v2 for creators

ElevenLabs has released Music v2, a new music generation model that improves vocals, instrumentation, arrangement, and multilingual output. The model supports longer, section-by-section composition, inpainting to regenerate specific parts of a track, and more complex shifts within a song without losing coherence. It powers ElevenMusic and ElevenCreative now, with ElevenAPI access coming soon, and is trained on licensed data for commercial use.
