Compared to dumping the repo
Last updated 12 September 2026
- Repo dump vs Hexum — 220,393 vs 27,352 tokens on the published card. Same tests.
- Cursor rules vs a real check — prose the model may follow, versus a file the check reads. No guessing.
- Search vs this-task context — Hexum is not a vector index. It trims this turn.
FAQ
How does Hexum cut what I pay the model?
Your agent stops dumping the whole repo into the prompt. Hexum sends this task, not every file. On the published card, MBPP context dropped 85.2% and the combined 24-task cut is 87.6%, with 24/24 tests still passing. Tokens are ceil(utf8_bytes/4), not a provider invoice. See /benchmarks.
Does Hexum replace Cursor or Claude Code?
No. You keep Cursor, Claude Code, Antigravity, Codex, or Grok. Hexum is not an editor and not a model. You paste a key into the agent you already use.
