# pxpipe Trades Text Tokens for Rendered Visual Context

## Observation

The proxy compresses large tool results and old context into images, reducing input cost while exposing precision limits for byte-exact data.

## Why it matters

This dated record adds public evidence to the agent economics moves to completed work, harness architecture outlives model choice analysis and keeps the claim auditable as the underlying products and practices change.

## Provenance

Normalized from QWG AI Telegram message 2636. The original Russian-language record remains available at https://t.me/qwgai/2636.
