Context compression finally works in production: new research cuts LLM input 16x without the accuracy hit
Context windows are becoming a computational bottleneck. The longer an agent runs, the more tokens accumulate from retrieved documents, reasoning traces and conversation history, and the more memory and compute that growing context demands. Most existing solutions either degrade model accuracy, require the full context to load before compression begins, or produce memory savings that don't tr [...]

Why the next AI safety problem is the conversation between models
In May 2025, AI researchers at Palisade Research ran a controlled experiment in which several advanced AI models, including OpenAI’s o3, were placed inside command-line sandboxes. The test was designed to measure controllability. Most models complied: Claude, Gemini, and Grok models allowed shutdown in all 100 test runs, reporting green across the board. However, three […]<br /> This sto [...]
