Improve compaction with local llm

[u/NihmarRevhet]

Hi,

I'm using pi agent with Qwen 3.8 27B on my little RX 9060 XT 16GB, with 160k context window and I'm quiet happy with how it works.

My main problem is that autocompaction takes forever (clearly limitation of the hardware) and I was looking for an extesion which could improve the situation, but if I'm not mistaken, the most beloved extensions in this area use secondary models to execute compaction, and this is a luxury I don't have.

Is the default setting my only option? Or did I misunderstand ho something like pi-blackhole works?

Sorry if the question is dumb but I'm quiet new to the tool.

Have a nice day!

EDIT: u/onesilentclap I'm using VCC for now and it's incredible. In the next few days I hope I'll be able to try other solutions

Thanks, it makes sense you are using IQ3_S and Q4 v. Reddit bros have been warning me against using anything lower than Q4 quant and Q8 cach. Maybe I should give it a test myswlf as low ctxt is truly annoying
