Compaction - Xum
Skip to main content
As conversations grow, they consume more of the model’s context window. Compaction reduces context size while preserving important information, keeping your conversations responsive and cost-effective.

Approaches

​
When to compact

  • Proactively: Before hitting context limits, especially on long-running tasks
  • After major milestones: When you’ve completed a phase and want to preserve learnings without full history
  • When responses degrade: Large contexts can reduce response quality
