Paritok

Paritok is a compression gateway for AI coding agents that reduces token usage by compressing tools, files, and conversation history on the fly.

Paritok acts as a gateway between a coding agent and an LLM to manage context window efficiency. It uses a code-native 4B compression model to filter and summarize tool schemas, file reads, and history without discarding data permanently. Information is compressed on the wire, and the agent can retrieve original bytes locally when needed. The system maintains cache stability by keeping tool schemas constant per conversation and manages history based on a user-defined budget. Paritok is designed for developers who need to fit more context into LLM windows while reducing latency and costs associated with large token volumes.
