Questions

Four answers before you decide.

What does Needlepath do?

Needlepath decides what enters each model call. Send the records your agent holds with the question the model is about to answer, and it returns the ones the step needs, unrewritten, in milliseconds. When the whole set is what the question needs, the whole set goes through unchanged.

How much less context does a call carry?

On the NVIDIA RULER benchmark, 2,600 questions, 52.9% fewer input tokens were sent, counting the 24.0% of calls that received the complete document. Answers were +12.9 pp better than sending everything.

Does it rewrite or summarize my documents?

No. Needlepath sends your own records, unrewritten, and only the ones that answer the question. It does not summarize, compress or rerank the content of a record.

What happens when the whole file is what the question needs?

It hands over the whole file. When a smaller context cannot be shown to be safe, the complete document goes through unchanged, so what you risk on that call is paying full price.
