About
Compress tool outputs, logs, files, and RAG chunks before they reach the LLM. 60-95% fewer tokens, same answers. Library, proxy, MCP server.
I remember there was some talk about this; there was another project that turned context/prompts into caveman speak
...To reduce tokens.
My understanding is it reduces the quality of the outputs
Holy cow that caveman project got 67K stars!

wow, that works then, 20$ plan can work like 5x max

Caveman was novel but it was quickly replaced by rtk and then headroom (created by netflix and wiz) uses rtk under the hood and applies to a lot more

They have a good comparison on the readme of their doc but caveman isnt included
I replaced caveman with rtk a couple months ago and the gains are amazing

wow wow
great to know, 5x max is enough for me, may need them if there is a new project other than openclaw or hermes (more secure than them)
