Is it similar to rtk? Where the output of tool calls is compressed? Or does it actively compress your history once in a while?

If it's the latter, then users will pay for the entire history of tokens since the change uncached: https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/prompt...

How is this better?

Funny enough, Anthropic just went GA with 1m context claude that has supposedly solved the lost-in-the-middle problem.

Just for anyone else who hadn't seen the announcement yet, this Anthropic 1M context is now the same price as the previous 256K context - not the beta where Anthropic charged extra for the 1M window:

As for retrieval, the post shows Opus 4.6 at 78.3% needle retrieval success in 1M window (compared with 91.9% in 256K), and Sonnet 4.6 at 65.1% needle retrieval in 1M (compared with 90.6% in 256K).

This company sounds like it has months to live, or until the VC money runs out at most. If this idea is good, Anthropic et. al. will roll it into their own product, eliminating any purpose for it to exist as an independent product. And if it isn't any good, the company won't get traction.
