Agentic Frameworks, Tooling, Skills

• FastContext, https://huggingface.co/papers/fastcontext-training-efficient-repository-explorer-for-coding-agents — Trained context routing replaces heavy vector RAG in coding agents, cutting latency and token waste when traversing large repositories during agentic loops. [Source: https://huggingface.co/papers/fastcontext-training-efficient-repository-explorer-for-coding-agents]
• TokenPilot, https://huggingface.co/papers/tokenpilot-cache-efficient-context-management-for-llm-agents — Dynamic KV cache eviction/reuse during tool execution; extends effective context windows on your 32GB setup without full model reloads or context truncation. [Source: https://huggingface.co/papers/tokenpilot-cache-efficient-context-management-for-llm-agents]
• Tangram, https://huggingface.co/papers/tangram-unlocking-non-uniform-kv-cache-compression-for-efficient-multi-turn-llm-serving — Non-uniform KV compression algorithm for multi-turn serving; packs longer tool-calling trajectories into VRAM, directly stabilizing your 131k context target on limited hardware.
