openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix Baseline Context Load: 40K tokens per message regardless of reply length [1 participants]

TL;DR

Implementing lazy-loading of context or introducing a lightweight mode configuration option may reduce the token context load for minimal replies.

Guidance

• Investigate the feasibility of lazy-loading context only when necessary, such as during tool calls or memory searches, to minimize unnecessary token loads.
• Consider introducing a configuration option to toggle between a lightweight mode and a full mode, allowing users to choose the balance between performance and functionality.
• Evaluate the current implementation to identify why minimal replies incur a high token context load, focusing on optimizing or refactoring the code to reduce this overhead.
• Assess the potential impact of lazy-loading or lightweight modes on the overall user experience and functionality, ensuring that performance improvements do not compromise essential features.

Example

No specific code snippet can be provided without more context, but the approach might involve conditional statements or dynamic loading mechanisms to control when the context is loaded.

Notes

The effectiveness of these suggestions depends on the specific implementation details and requirements of the system, which are not fully provided in the issue description. Further analysis and testing would be necessary to determine the best approach.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implementing a lazy-loading mechanism or a lightweight mode could significantly reduce the token context load for minimal replies, improving performance without necessarily upgrading to a potentially non-existent fixed version.
