How Base44 Uses GPT-5.6 to Build Apps With 20% Fewer Tokens

From the creator

Base44 helps people turn natural language into production-ready applications and custom AI agents—no coding required. In this Startup Spotlight, Yoav Farhi, Staff AI Engineer at Base44, shares how the team tested GPT-5.6 across a wide range of app-building scenarios. Compared with GPT-5.5, GPT-5.6 delivered better outcomes while using 20% fewer tokens, completed tasks faster, and produced stronger first-pass designs for complex interfaces. For Base44’s builders, that means less time correcting and re-explaining—and a faster path from idea to a product they can put in front of customers.

Makers residency 4th edition

Your idea can be anything. At our last workshops, people built plant-based nutrition businesses, a way to measure planetary resilience, crochet headwear and a way to connect lonely people living in the same building. An asset manager went on to raise an additional £25M on their fund within nine months. The fourth workshop is a full day at KOKO with Nick Sarafa, learning to build with Claude Code. Bring the thing you keep meaning to start. We’ll bring the pizza.
