Show HN: Slash-tokens – know LLM cost before the call leaves your machine

https://github.com/Wolfe-Jam/slash-tokens
1•wolfejam•1h ago
I kept finding out what a call cost after I had already paid, so I built /Slash -- slash-tokens is a 4.8KB WASM that estimates tokens FAST and can block a wasted trip, or switch to cheaper same-provider model before the request leaves your machine. Try it MIT, no account needed: bunx slash-tokens

Or install the SDK: npm install slash-tokens
