Now or Never! Token Diet with TOON to Save Money and Help AI Understand More

Tokens cost money, and every unnecessary token you send to an LLM is money wasted. In this workshop, you'll learn how to put your AI applications on a token diet using TOON, a Python tool for creating compact, semantically rich data representations. We'll cover TOON's architecture, how to serialize complex data structures efficiently, measure token reduction, and integrate TOON into existing AI pipelines—without losing the information your models need.
