FAQ

How does Hexum reduce tokens?

The agent calls hexum_shrink before it reads widely. The model is sent this turn, not the repository. On MBPP, measured context dropped about 85% with the same tests passing. Example turn: 18.2k → 3.1k tokens, 41 files → 6. See /benchmarks and /methodology.

Does Hexum replace Cursor or Claude Code?

No. Hexum is a hosted MCP server. You keep Cursor, Claude Code, Antigravity, Codex, or Grok. Hexum is not an IDE and not a model.
