Stop Dumping Text Files Into Your AI. Your Token Bill Is Burning.
AI memory is broken. Markdown files and ad-hoc text blobs are burning 6x more tokens and 8x more tool calls than necessary. TERSE is a new state language that treats memory like a lightweight database—cutting costs, speeding up agents, and making AI state management simple, human-readable, and brutally efficient. The numbers don’t lie: one-sixth the tokens, one-eighth the calls.
