Token compression for education AI

Education AI applications process curriculum content, student responses, and assessment data. These are long-form contexts where 60-80% of tokens are irrelevant to the specific educational query.

Education AI token spend

A tutoring AI sends: the curriculum context (1,000-5,000 tokens), student's previous answers (500-2,000 tokens), current question (50-200 tokens), and assessment criteria (200-500 tokens). Total: 1,750-7,700 tokens per tutoring interaction.

Curriculum compression

from supercompress import Compressor
comp = Compressor()

def tutor_response(curriculum_section, student_question, student_history):
    context = f"Curriculum: {curriculum_section}\nHistory: {student_history}"
    result = comp.compress(context, student_question)
    return llm.generate(
        f"Tutor the student based on:\n{result.compressed_text}"
    )
