Context Gateway slashes AI coding context costs

Context Gateway is a smart wedge into the AI coding stack: instead of replacing Claude Code or Cursor, it makes them cheaper, faster, and less painful once long-running sessions start hitting context limits.

• –Background history compaction is the real product here, because it removes the stop-and-wait moment that usually wrecks agent flow
• –The proxy approach is pragmatic: teams can keep their existing tools and models instead of migrating to a new AI IDE
• –Compresr is positioning this as measurable infra, not vague optimization, with claims of large compression gains and lower benchmark costs
• –Open-source delivery via GitHub makes it easier for power users to inspect, self-host, and contribute rather than trust a black-box wrapper
• –If this category takes off, the competition will shift from raw model quality to context management, caching, and orchestration layers around the models
