alt Hacker NewsI wonder what is the business model.
It seems like the tool to solve the problem that won't last longer than couple of months and is something that e.g. claude code can and probably will tackle themselves soon.

Don't tools like Claude Code sometimes do something like this already? I've seen it start sub-agents for reading files that just return a summarized answer to a question the main agent asked.

Why would the problem ever go away? It's compression technologys have existed virtually since the beginning of computing, and one could argue human brains do their own version of compression during sleep.

Claude code still has /compact taking ages - and it is a relatively easy fix. Doing proactive compression the right way is much tougher. For now, they seem to bet on subagents solving that, which is essentially summarization with Haiku. We don't think it is the way to go, because summarization is lossy + additional generation steps add latency
