Hystax open-sources a coding-agent compressor that cut one test bill by 22.7% Hystax released OptScale Kompressor, an MIT-licensed open-source tool that shortens repeated machine output sent by AI coding agents to language models, and CEO and co-founder Nick Smirnov says it cut the provider bill by 22.7% in Hystax's benchmark without a statistically significant change in task success. The benchmark used Codex and GPT-5.5, and Hystax is pairing the free tool with integration into its OptScale AI product to sell broader cost and governance tools. The 22.7% savings figure is company-run and workload-specific, so teams should test it against their own billed traffic.
