if access to reasoning LLMs cost too much, or they run too slow on your hardware, this amazing lifehack can save you!

Here's how to use notepad.exe (or compatible) to execute your prompts:🧵

#AI #reasoning #LLM #lifehack

Start with an empty file. We will write markdown, as it's the most AI-native solution:

# How do I save money on tokens

Here goes your prompt as a header, making your goal clear, bold and visible

👇

Then you need to mark a start of reasoning section. Unordered lists are a great tool for that, each bullet point representing a short, but complete thought

- AI is billed by tokens
- Less tokens = less money to pay
- I need to use AI less
- And generate tokens myself!

👇

Keep imitating «chain of thoughts», until you get a reasonable basis to generate a complete answer to your initial prompt!
