Your context.
Only what matters.
Less noise between your ideas and your AI.
An open-source Python library for thoughtful context compression.
pip install llmslimCopy install commandA little less goes a long way.
Good context gives your model direction.
The rest just takes up space.
Keep it relevant.
Rank and select content around your question, before it reaches the model.
Keep its origins.
Treat instructions, retrieved documents, and tool responses according to their roles.
Keep control.
Choose your retention target. Inspect the output. Evaluate it on your own workload.

A shared beginning.
Built from India.
We’re building LLMSlim with support from the Sarvam Startup Program and Zoho for Startups. Start with local context compression, then bring Sarvam’s models into your application.
Explore the integrationSmall library. Familiar workflow.
A few lines.
Then back to building.
Add LLMSlim before your model call. Run extraction locally, or bring a provider for rewrite and hybrid strategies.
from llmslim import compress
# Keep the useful. Leave the rest.
result = compress(
long_context,
target_ratio=0.5,
)
# Ready for your model
context = result.compressed_textBefore you start.
A few good
questions.
Does it need an API key?+
Not for local extraction. LLMSlim’s default extractive strategy runs in your Python application. Rewrite and hybrid strategies use a provider you supply.
Does it work with my model?+
LLMSlim prepares text before your model call. Use the output with Sarvam, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or a local model. Your application keeps control of the request.
How much should I compress?+
Start with a conservative target ratio and evaluate the answers your application produces. The right setting depends on the documents, question, and model. Compression can remove useful information; there is no universal quality guarantee.
What do the startup program announcements mean?+
LLMSlim is part of both the Sarvam Startup Program and Zoho for Startups. Our Sarvam integration guide shows how to combine local context compression with the official Sarvam Python SDK.
