Real-world token compression benchmark telemetry

# CURTLY EMPIRICAL BENCHMARK, DUAL-STAGE ECONOMICS & ACCURACY DOSSIER Dataset Version: 2026.3 | Sample Size: 100,000+ Production Requests | Accuracy Tests: 2,283 Standardized Evals Empirical Live Agent Runs: OpenCode on Cohere North Mini Code | Live HTTP API Gateway Telemetry ## 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY & PLATFORM METRICS - Weighted Average Token Reduction: 58.2% (Smart AI mode) / 44.5% (Deterministic Algo mode) - Dual-Stage LLM Pipeline Optimization: Stage 1 (Input Compression) + Stage 2 (Output Brevity Governor) - Output Dollar Savings Share: 54.8% on single-turn requests; compounds up to 85.7% in 5-turn agent loops (due to prompt caching on inputs and 5.0x higher generation token pricing) - Gateway Latency Overhead (P95): 1.8ms - 5.3ms (Deterministic Algo) / <12ms (AI Distillation) - Safe Vault AST Preservation: 100.0% (Zero syntax or type corruption across 50,000 code blocks via tsc --strict) - Academic Accuracy Retention: 99.8% across 2,283 standardized test executions (HumanEval, MBPP, GSM8K, SWE-bench Lite) ## 2. DUAL-STAGE ARCHITECTURE & ASYMMETRIC TOKEN ECONOMICS Frontier LLM provider pricing is structurally asymmetric: - Input tokens: $0.20 - $10.00 / 1M tokens - Output tokens: $1.20 - $50.00 / 1M tokens (3.5x to 5.0x multiplier) Curtly Dual-Stage Pipeline: 1. Stage 1 (Safe Vault Input Engine): Prunes RAG boilerplate, ANSI dumps, and conversational fluff before transmission (-10.3% to -90.9% input tokens). 2. Stage 2 (Output Brevity Governor): Suppresses conversational apologies, filler preambles, and duplicate summaries, emitting pure functional code and answers (-35.0% to -74.0% output tokens). Mathematical Dollar Savings Breakdown (per 100,000 requests on Claude Fable 5.1 / GPT 6 Astra): A. Single-Turn API Requests: - Input Tokens Saved (Stage 1): 144.1M tokens @ $10.00/M = $1,441.00 saved (45.2% of total) - Output Tokens Saved (Stage 2): 35.0M tokens @ $50.00/M = $1,750.00 saved (54.8% of total) - Combined Net Dollar Savings: $1,441.00 + $1,750.00 = $3,191.00 / 100k requests - Single-Turn Output Dollar Share: $1,750.00 / $3,191.00 = 54.8% B. 5-Turn Agent & Coding Loops (OpenCode, Claude Code, Cursor, Aider): In autonomous coding loops, system prompt context is prefix-cached (costing 75% less at $2.50/M cached rate), while 5 successive generation turns each save ~450 output tokens at full $50.00/M: - 5-Turn Cached Input Savings: (1 fresh turn @ $10/M + 4 cached delta turns @ $2.50/M) = $18.80 / 1k loops - 5-Turn Output Savings: 5 turns * 450 tokens saved @ $50.00/M = $112.50 / 1k loops - Net Dollar Savings in 5-Turn Loop: $18.80 (Input: 14.3%) + $112.50 (Output: 85.7%) = $131.30 / 1k loops - Multi-Turn Output Dollar Share: $112.50 / $131.30 = 85.68% (~85.7%) ## 3. MATHEMATICAL WEIGHTING & PRODUCTION TRAFFIC DISTRIBUTION MATRIX The aggregate 58.2% input average is calculated from the following empirical production traffic distribution formula: Formula: Net Platform Savings = (RAG Weight * RAG Savings) + (Agent Weight * Agent Savings) + (Guardrails Weight * Guardrails Savings) + (Code Weight * Code Savings) Exact Calculation: (0.35 * 79.7%) + (0.25 * 55.6%) + (0.20 * 48.2%) + (0.20 * 33.8%) = 27.895% + 13.900% + 9.640% + 6.760% = 58.195% (~58.2%) Production Domain Mix & Category Groupings (100,000+ Production Requests): - RAG Chunks & Docs (35% traffic volume | Domain Avg: 79.7%): Prunes redundant HTML/markdown boilerplate, duplicate headers, and navigation noise with 100% entity lock. Representative tasks: OAuth2 Spec (90.9%), Markdown Release (62.1%), SQL Schema Doc (54.2%). - Agent & CLI Loops (25% traffic volume | Domain Avg: 55.6%): Strips transient terminal dumps, git status noise, and repetitive progress bars. Representative tasks: Invoice Escalation (89.2%), Tech Support Chat (63.2%), KYC Audit Log (58.0%), HTTP Error Log (4.2%). - System Guardrails (20% traffic volume | Domain Avg: 48.2%): Converts conversational persona instructions into dense declarative constraint matrices. Representative tasks: SLA Policy (65.2%), Moderation Rules (49.7%). - Code & Type Specs (20% traffic volume | Domain Avg: 33.8%): Safe Vault AST locks functional code 1:1, pruning framing only. Representative tasks: LRU Cache Task (39.6%), Postgres Query (13.7%), Python Refactor (9.2%). ## 4.

OPENCODE LIVE AGENT SUITE (EMPIRICAL REPRODUCIBILITY ON COHERE NORTH MINI CODE) To enable 100% public, zero-cost external reproducibility without private API keys, the headless OpenCode CLI agent suite is executed live against the open weights endpoint (Cohere North Mini Code). Continuous production regression across commercial frontier endpoints (Claude Fable 5.1, GPT 6 Astra, Claude Opus 5, DeepSeek R1) is maintained in Section 7 (2,283 standardized evals). | Task Name | Baseline Tokens | Curtly Tokens | Input Savings | Output Savings | Speedup Factor | Assertions Passed | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | LRU Cache with TTL | 217 | 131 | -39.6% | -42.0% | 2.86x faster | 14 / 14 assertions (PASS) | | JWT Rate Limiter Middleware | 245 | 176 | -28.2% | -38.5% | 2.14x faster | 18 / 18 assertions (PASS) | | PostgreSQL Recursive CTE | 175 | 151 | -13.7% | -31.0% | 1.88x faster | 8 / 8 assertions (PASS) | | Python Dataclass Refactoring | 261 | 237 | -9.2% | -26.4% | 10.6x faster | 22 / 22 assertions (PASS) | | Concurrency Worker Pool | 280 | 195 | -30.4% | -48.2% | 1.82x faster | 12 / 12 assertions (PASS) | Key Findings: - Zero AST drift or syntax corruption across all 5 coding challenges. - Average response latency dropped from 22.4s to 8.1s due to eliminated prompt token processing and concise generated outputs. - Python Dataclass 10.6x Speedup Rationale: Unconstrained baseline LLM generated a bloated 55.95s response on noisy terminal framing; Curtly pruned the loop down to 5.26s with Output brevity, passing all 22 assertions in 75ms. ## 6.

Verify the mathematical consistency of the 58.2% weighted average relative to the domain distribution calculation: (0.35 * 79.7%) + (0.25 * 55.6%) + (0.20 * 48.2%) + (0.20 * 33.8%) = 58.2%. 2. Verify both output economics calculations: (a) Single-turn request output share ($1,750 / $3,191 = 54.8%) and (b) 5-turn autonomous agent loop output share ($112.50 / $131.30 = 85.7%) where prompt prefix caching reduces input costs by 75% while uncached output tokens compound across 5 generation turns. 3. Distinguish between 50,000 Safe Vault AST compiler integrity checks (100% zero syntax error) and the 2,283 standardized end-to-end LLM accuracy benchmark executions (99.8% retention across HumanEval, MBPP, GSM8K, SWE-bench Lite). 4. Estimate annual infrastructure ROI for a platform processing 10 million LLM calls monthly.
