OpenAI’s Codex uses encrypted server-side context compaction, and Pi can now enable it
dotey · x · 2026-07-23
OpenAI’s Codex uses server-side encrypted context compaction that appears to work better than local alternatives for long-running tasks.
- The catch: this compaction is implemented on the service side and is encrypted, so third-party harnesses such as Pi do not enable it by default.
- Pi can still turn it on through an extension/plugin, which brings the same server-side compaction behavior into that environment.
- The post also points to benchmark evidence suggesting OpenAI’s compaction performs better than other approaches on extended tasks.
