Hi - I am the core maintainer of Headroom. Headroom remains OSS and free to use :) If youre a dev that wants to try it out, use the Github pip install directly. We are building it for multiple languages, harnesses and models. Extraheadroom

Fair enough. Trying to keep it concise here - This is how you install it: pip install "headroom-ai[proxy]" headroom proxy --port 8787 It will: * Check all the data going into the LLM and apply intelligent compression based on the

What is it? - Context Compression (with Reversibility - this part is the difference) for LLMs - very different than any compression or summarization tools that promise cost savings and speed! - claude code costs / cursor costs - reduce

Author here. I built Headroom because I was spending $200/day running agents with tool calls. The problem: tools return huge JSON (search results, DB queries, file listings). Each response bloats context. By turn 10, you're paying

More detail / what it does + what it doesn’t: What it actually changes: Tool output compression is deterministic and schema-preserving: it returns a subset of the original array items (no invented summaries, no wrapper keys). It suppor

I kept hitting context limits building coding agents because tool outputs explode (search/log/API payloads), and prompt compression breaks strict tool calling. Headroom is a local proxy / SDK wrapper that: - compresses tool o
