alt Hacker NewsThe compaction prompt doesn't seem like the valuable thing here. I suspect they're protecting the compaction result itself. If you're trying to distill a model, collecting lots of examples on how a large conversation gets compacted to a smaller summary is particularly useful data.
No, you can give the model same prompt and it will give you a similar compaction result. On the backend, that's precisely what happens. There's nothing else going on in that encrypted blob, it's just summary of what model responds with when prompted "summarize current state and upcoming work".
