Developer docs redesign
Rebuilt the docs around a proper API reference: two-pane endpoint
sections with request and response side by side, collapsible body
parameters, and a python /
javascript /
go /
rust /
curl selector on every code sample.
Added dedicated Rate limits,
Security,

Helene 1 generally available
The fast, accuracy-first compaction model
helene-1 went GA and became the proxy
default, so existing sessions started using it automatically. On a
standard question-answering benchmark, a model answering from its
compacted context scored higher than the same
model reading the full transcript, while sending far fewer tokens.
An optional compression_rate trades
savings against fidelity. Numbers in the
announcement.
Dashboard analytics behind a first-party relay
Product analytics for the dashboard now run through a first-party
/relay proxy, so measuring usage adds
no third-party requests from your browser.
Organizations
Team workspaces: a shared credit pool, per-member budgets, and an org-wide spend cap you set. The dense CLI installs once per machine and members authenticate into the org. See Built for teams.

AWS Global Startup Program
condense joined the AWS Global Startup Program, backing the GPU capacity behind the Adeline compaction family. Over one hackathon weekend, 30 teams pushed roughly 4 billion tokens through condense. Context in the note.
Adeline 1
The heavy-lift compaction model
adeline-1 shipped for long agent
traces. It resolves the compacted rewrite in a handful of parallel
passes instead of token by token, which is where its latency win
comes from. See
Adeline 1 ships.
Provider routes
Point an Anthropic or OpenAI SDK base URL at condense and everything else stays the same, Codex and Claude Code included. Streaming and tool calls round-trip; the Responses route carries Codex. Shipped alongside Adeline 1.
Hello, condense
First public release of the condense proxy and the dense CLI, one login that routes Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode through condense. Read the launch note.
Direct compression endpoint
POST /v1/compress takes a transcript
and hands it back compacted in the same shape, with no upstream
model call, N messages in, N messages out.
