Model optimization

Mistral compression

Mistral models are popular for self-hosted deployments due to their efficiency. Compression further optimizes inference by reducing prompt prefill time.

Mistral with compression

from supercompress import Compressor
from mistralai import Mistral

comp = Compressor()
client = Mistral(api_key="...")

def chat_with_compression(messages, query):
    history = "\n".join(m["content"] for m in messages[:-1])
    compressed = comp.compress(history, query)
    messages[-1]["content"] = compressed.compressed_text + "\n" + query
    return client.chat.complete(model="mistral-large", messages=messages)

Frequently asked questions

Does compression work with Mistral's function calling?

Yes. Function definitions are preserved. Only conversation history is compressed.

Can I use it with self-hosted Mistral?

Yes. The compressor runs locally and compresses before sending to your self-hosted instance.

Build with less context

Put compression in front of your next LLM call.

Use the hosted API or run SuperCompress locally. Keep the evidence, drop the token waste, and measure the savings before it reaches your model.
