SuperCompress vs summarization

Summarization rewrites context with another LLM call, risking fact changes. Query-aware selection keeps original text intact.

The summarization problem

  1. Extra LLM call - Paying for summarization AND the final response
  2. Fact changes - Summaries soften exact numbers and omit details
  3. Not auditable - Can't tell what was changed
