Edgee Token Compression V2

Edgee describes Compression V2 as a drop-in CLI wrapper that works with existing API keys and plans, with no code changes. The source does not provide full installation or authentication steps, so setup details should be confirmed in the product documentation.

The three techniques are independently toggleable configuration flags: tool result trimming, tool surface reduction, and output brevity. Output brevity supports light, medium, and hard levels.

Tool result trimming removes redundant framing from tool results while preserving technical content. Tool surface reduction curates the tool definitions shown to the model based on the task, while the IDE can continue exposing the full tool set. Output brevity reduces verbosity in model responses.

The production figure is a rolling 30-day aggregate across active Edgee customers and reports a 15–20% reduction in token bills from compression alone. The published SWE-bench Lite result is a separate controlled benchmark in which all three techniques reduced one session from 18,420 to 9,210 tokens, or 50%; it is not a forecast for every fleet.

Compression is intended for code-oriented tasks and is described as semantically lossless from the model's perspective. The documentation says extremely short prompts compress less, tool-use schemas are passed through untouched, and Edgee may skip compression when in doubt.
