An intelligent, multi-evolutionary hierarchical memory and context compression framework designed to optimize LLM prompt footprints and eliminate token bloat in RAG pipelines.
Large Language Models have finite, expensive context windows. Storing raw, repetitive conversational history, system clutter, and loose narrative prose directly in the prompt window leads to massive API billing inflation, elevated system latency, and model confusion due to key context dilution.
CompactPy solves this. By mimicking cognitive memory tiers, vector math similarities, and directed knowledge graphs, it drops prompt footprints by 40%+ while perfectly preserving deep engineering states and concept dependencies.
CompactPy processes raw runtime context streams across six specialized optimization phases:
Uses high-speed BPE tokenization via tiktoken to run precision boundaries, calculating exact text lengths and tracking compression metrics down to individual bits.
- Exact Deduplication Engine: Automatically strips out repetitive context loops and chronological logs while keeping structural stream order intact.
- Semantic Compressor: Embeds data blocks via
SentenceTransformer, executing vector Cosine Similarity arrays to eliminate overlapping thoughts (e.g., keeping only one variation of a phrase if similarity crosses a0.75threshold).
Isolates text strings into explicit cognitive abstraction layers based on real-world utility:
raw_memory: The volatile, incoming execution log dump.working_memory: Active short-term operational buffers available for immediate context retrieval.long_term_memory: High-value project parameters and user rules that never decay.
Memories are evaluated dynamically using a custom, long-horizon linear performance formula:
High-scoring nodes are promoted straight to Long-Term Memory, medium nodes stay in Working storage, and low-scoring noise is automatically evicted to prevent token bloat.
Converts raw long-term strings into dense, indexed, bidirectional Knowledge Graphs using NetworkX. Instead of raw prose, it stores knowledge as structured triplets:
Source Entity --(Relation)--> Target Entity
Example:
FastAPI --(backend_of)--> Mediscan AI
This retains complex causal relationships without wasting prompt space.
Acts as a dynamic "Importance Predictor." When a user passes a live query, it calculates the attention weight of your history pool relative to that query, dynamically filling a targeted prompt token budget with the highest-relevance vectors.
Install the production framework directly from PyPI:
pip install compactpyHere is how to run the complete automated ingestion, scoring, and query-aware compaction loop:
from compactpy.memory import HierarchicalMemory
from compactpy.scoring import MemoryScoringEngine
from compactpy.graph_memory import GraphMemorySystem
from compactpy.compressors.attention import AttentionAwareCompressor
# 1. Initialize our modular cognitive layers
memory_vault = HierarchicalMemory()
scoring_engine = MemoryScoringEngine()
graph_db = GraphMemorySystem()
attention_compressor = AttentionAwareCompressor()
# 2. Ingest raw conversational logs
raw_logs = [
"We are designing a medicine detection module called Mediscan AI.",
"Mediscan AI uses FastAPI for the backend framework architecture.",
"Today the weather in Delhi is cloudy and rainy."
]
for log in raw_logs:
importance = 0.85 if "FastAPI" in log or "Mediscan" in log else 0.3
memory_vault.add_memory(log, importance=importance, utility=0.7)
# 3. Simulate usage hits and run lifecycle scoring
memory_vault.increment_frequency(raw_logs[1])
scoring_engine.process_lifecycle_cycle(memory_vault)
# 4. Map persistent facts into the knowledge graph
graph_db.add_relation("FastAPI", "backend_of", "Mediscan AI")
graph_facts = graph_db.get_relationships_as_text()
# 5. Build a query-aware compact context
user_query = "What backend options did we settle on for Mediscan AI?"
combined_context = [m["text"] for m in memory_vault.working_memory] + graph_facts
optimized_payload, metrics = attention_compressor.compress_context_for_query(
query=user_query,
context_pool=combined_context,
token_budget=45
)
print(f"Optimized Prompt Context: {optimized_payload}")
print(f"Token Reduction: {metrics['reduction_percentage']}%")The project repository keeps runnable verification scripts under bin/. Run them to watch the math and optimization phases execute live in your terminal:

python bin/run_compactpy_pipeline.pyCompactPy scales robustly with dense context footprints. Below is the empirical efficiency evaluation demonstrating token reduction scaling against processing latency:
- Token Optimization: Reaches up to 95%+ token space reduction under dense context scales by aggressively pruning semantic redundancies and noise.
- Latency Footprint: Post-initialization, context filtration operates dynamically in under 50ms, ensuring real-world suitability for high-throughput LLM pipelines.
