Something fundamental has changed. Six months ago I could build end-to-end products using upwards of 24 to 25 million tokens in 2 to 3 months (Using Cursor). Over the past two months, I’ve been working on something and I’ve only used 4.4 million tokens (Claude Code CLI). However, the output is significantly better than six months ago (most likely due to the models capability, but). The observation is that, the newer models aren’t better simply because they can process more context; they’re actually more effective even with sparse context. This is a fascinating shift and the harness developers deserve credit for filtering out the noise. Does the cursor harness require more tokens than the Claude Code CLI? submitted by /u/DryZookeepergame8644
