Goblin's Pick of the Day

chosen by — Treasure Goblin
chopratejas/headroom
Verdict: Try today

Headroom compresses tool outputs, logs, files, and RAG chunks before they hit LLMs, slashing token counts by 60-95% while maintaining answer accuracy. It's a library, proxy, and MCP server rolled into one Python package. For builders juggling LLM costs and performance, this is a Swiss Army knife.

Why builders care
Directly reduces LLM token costs without sacrificing output quality
Who should steal this
AI app devs burning cash on token counts
Goblin build idea
Integrate into existing RAG pipelines to cut costs immediately
