Token Compression for LLMs: How to reduce context size without losing accuracy

Hey, I'm Sacha, co-founder at @Edgee

Over the last few months, we've been working on a problem we kept seeing in production AI systems:

LLM costs don't scale linearly with usage, they scale with context.
As teams add RAG, tool calls, long chat histories, memory, and guardrails, prompts become huge and token spend quickly becomes the main bottleneck.

So we built a token compression layer designed to run before inference.

What's the best AI model for coding?

New AI models pop up every week. Some developer tools like @Cursor, @Zed, and @Kilo Code let you choose between different models, while more opinionated products like @Amp and @Tonkotsu default to 1 model.

Curious what the community recommends for coding tasks? Any preferences?
