Context compression finally works in production: new research cuts LLM input 16x without the accuracy hit

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 … Read more

What AI benchmarks miss about real-world performance

What AI benchmarks miss about real-world performance

Presented by F5Enterprise AI teams have spent years solving for compute, securing GPU allocations, negotiating cloud capacity, and benchmarking training throughput. The assumption embedded in that work is that the path between storage and compute will keep up. In production, that assumption increasingly does not hold. Real traffic introduces latency spikes, network jitter, and node … Read more
