Could you build this?
Partial While the proxy server and API wrapper are straightforward, creating a reliable prompt-compression engine that shaves 40-60% tokens in ~5ms without breaking semantic reasoning or downstream LLM accuracy is difficult.
What it would actually take: The service requires a low-latency API proxy (Go/Rust or fast Node.js/Python) handling inbound text requests. The hard part is the algorithmic or rule-based token pruning pipeline (selective token dropping, syntax-tree pruning, or vocabulary compression) that consistently preserves instruction fidelity across arbitrary prompts in under 5 milliseconds. Achieving this requires NLP/linguistic engineering and extensive automated benchmark validation against standard LLM eval suites.
Discussion
13 comments analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: OpenAI, Claude, LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI
Concerns raised: Security risk of proxying LLM calls and API keys through third party, Hesitancy to grant MITM access to usage and credentials, Undeployed endpoints return 404 errors, Compression may affect prompt effectiveness and tuned results, Hallucinated documentation and example code
Feature requests: Self-hosted or local deployment option, Compress non-sensitive prompt parts only without proxying keys
