Stop Paying Codex to Re-Read Context
We benchmarked Codex alone against Codex routed through Edgee's compression gateway on the same repo, with the same model, under the same workflow. The result: Codex + Edgee used 49.5% fewer input tokens, improved cache hit rate from 76.1% to 85.4%, and reduced total session cost by 35.6%. This post breaks down why context compression makes Codex more efficient, more frugal, and materially cheaper to run without sacrificing useful output.
