I'd like to see this benched against oh-my-pi because I've really been digging how it does compaction / snapshotting.

great idea. Currently working on updating benches on frontiers models, so far on glm-5.3 it's already showed great results. Can I have a link to oh-my-pi to make sure will sure use right one for it?

Also, quick question: Could I use octomind upstream of harnesses like omp and get the savings? Or do you primarily get the savings from using the octomind CLI?

Also regular pi, which is particularly minimal

did they stick with the image-based compaction (when vision is supported i guess)? It boggled my mind: "snapcompact, which archives older history into dense images for a vision-capable model"

it's in the docs! never have used it though https://omp.sh/docs/compaction

I use it. It works flawlessly.

For obvious reasons it underperforms on models that hide their reasoning chain. Other than that it works fine for a non-customizable method. Properly customized handoff is still better.

How is oh-my-pi compaction different? Is there other harnesses that employ the same tricks?
