#2holy moly! awesome

#3This is definitely good to have this as an option but at the same time having more context reduces the quality of the output because it's easier for the LLM to get "distracted". So, I wonder what will happen to the quality of code produced by tools like Claude Code if users don't properly understand the trade off being made (if they leave it in auto mode of coding right up to the auto compact).

What do you recommend doing instead? I've been using Claude Code a lot but am still pretty novice at the best practices around this.

#5Strange that they don't mention whether that's enabled or configurable in Claude Code.

#6In my testing the gap between claude and gemini pro 2.5 is close.
My company is in asia pacific and we can't get access to claude via vertex for some stupid reason.
but i tested it via other providers, the gap used to be huge but now not.

#9Shame it's only the API. Would've loved to see it via the web interface on claude.ai itself.

Yeah same, I'm curious about this. I would guess it's by default enabled with Claude Code.
