A new concept called 'Tokenrelaxxing' is introduced as an alternative to obsessive token optimization (tokenmaxxing or tokenminimizing). As frontier AI models have become dramatically cheaper and more capable, manually micromanaging token usage is now a net negative on engineering velocity. The approach advocates using auto-routing tools like Kilo's Auto Model, which dynamically assigns the best model to each task based on quality, speed, and cost — reportedly saving an additional 40-50% over manual optimization. Routing tiers include Auto Efficient, Frontier, Balanced, and Free, letting developers focus on shipping code rather than prompt arithmetic.
