Fable 5.1 Cache Compression Guide
Fable 5.1 users can save costs by reducing manual compression frequency, though 200k auto-compression shows better performance than /compact.
Fable 5.1 now has significantly lower cache prices, making frequent /compact compression unnecessary according to official recommendations. The user found that 200k automatic compression performs better than manual compression. Claude Code's official subscription cache expires after 1 hour, making /compact expensive when cache is invalid. The user asks whether long conversations without compression or multiple compressions save more tokens.
官方建议：Fable 5.1 由于缓存价格大幅下降，不需要频繁用 /compact 压缩，这样更便宜。 （但是我实测效果并不如 200k 自动压缩。） 另外如果缓存已经失效（Claude Code官方订阅是1小时），那么使用 /compact 会成本很高。 Neko @Catcappuccino1 @dotey 想问一下宝玉老师，多轮长对话不压缩和多次压缩上下文哪一种更省token呢，我压缩过几次发现额度也掉不少，现在是多轮用到7、800k之后开新对话 🔗 View Quoted Tweet 💬 3 🔄 0 ❤️ 6 👀 4566 📊 3 ⚡
