I also wanted to follow up with more tips after we shared this with the v0 team:
You can set a custom instruction in v0 to output only code when building applications. This helps reduce token usage by skipping explanations about code changes if those aren’t needed.
We’re also introducing v0 small soon—a lighter-weight option for simpler tasks that don’t require high-level intelligence, making those tasks more cost-effective.
Additionally, smaller projects and modular file structures tend to use fewer tokens, especially during edits, compared to working with large, monolithic files like a single page.tsx.
Hopefully that helps!
