Definition

The practice of reducing the number of tokens required to achieve a specific outcome with an LLM. This is critical for reducing latency, lowering costs, and staying within context window limits.

Why it matters (in Poovi’s context)

As a builder of production AI systems (e.g., lloyds_market_intelligence_digest), Poovi needs to optimize for performance and scale. Tools like graphify provide technical solutions to “context bloat.”

Key properties or components

  • Context Management: Selective retrieval of relevant information.
  • Compression: Representing complex structures in simpler formats (like a graph).
  • Caching: Reusing pre-processed data.
