🧠 Headroom AI — Intelligent Token Compression

Save 30-45% on every API call with our proprietary compression engine:

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│                    BEFORE HEADROOM                         │
│  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━  21,000 tokens    │
│  (Messages + System Prompts + Tool Schemas)                │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│                    AFTER HEADROOM                          │
│  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━  12,600 tokens (-40%)          │
│  (Deduplicated + Compressed + Optimized)                   │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

How It Works

  1. Tool Schema Deduplication — VS Code injects ~15,000 tokens of tool definitions on every request. Headroom caches and references them efficiently.

  2. Conversation History Compression — Older messages are intelligently summarized while preserving key context.

  3. Code-Aware Chunking — Understands AST boundaries to compress code blocks without breaking syntax.

  4. Semantic Deduplication — Removes repetitive patterns that waste model attention.

🎛️ Configuration

AWS Bedrock Setup

Option 1: AWS CLI Profile (Recommended)

{
  "cloudLmProvider.aws.defaultRegion": "us-east-1",
  "cloudLmProvider.aws.modelRouting": "auto"
}

The extension automatically uses your configured AWS CLI profile.

Option 2: Access Keys

Run the configuration wizard and enter:

  • AWS Access Key ID
  • AWS Secret Access Key
  • (Optional) Session Token for temporary credentials

Option 3: IAM Role / Instance Profile

For EC2 or ECS environments, credentials are automatically discovered.

Azure OpenAI Setup

{
  "cloudLmProvider.azure.defaultDeployment": "gpt-4o",
  "cloudLmProvider.azure.apiVersion": "2025-01-01-preview"
}

Run the wizard and enter:

  • Azure OpenAI Endpoint URL
  • API Key or use Azure AD authentication

All Settings

Setting Default Description
cloudLmProvider.aws.defaultRegion us-east-1 Primary AWS region
cloudLmProvider.aws.modelRouting auto Cross-region inference routing

❓ FAQ

Q: Do I need a GitHub Copilot subscription?

Yes, you need an active GitHub Copilot subscription to use GitHub Copilot Chat. This extension adds additional AI models to the existing Copilot Chat interface.

Q: Why are my AWS models not showing up?
  1. Ensure your AWS credentials have bedrock:InvokeModel and bedrock:ListFoundationModels permissions
  2. Check that the models are available in your selected region
  3. Run "Cloud LM: Recheck Cloud Connection" to refresh
Q: How does Headroom compression work?

Headroom analyzes your conversation context and:

  1. Deduplicates repeated tool schemas
  2. Compresses older conversation history
  3. Optimizes code blocks using AST-aware chunking
  4. Caches frequently-used context patterns

This reduces token count by 30-45% without losing important context.

Q: Is my data secure?

Absolutely. The extension makes direct API calls from your machine to your cloud provider. We never proxy, store, or access your data. Credentials are stored in VS Code's encrypted secret storage.

Q: Can I use this with multiple AWS accounts?

Yes! Use AWS CLI profiles or switch credentials via the configuration wizard. The extension supports multiple credential sets.

Q: Why is Claude/GPT not responding?
  1. Check your API quota limits in AWS/Azure console
  2. Verify credentials haven't expired
  3. Check the output log: "Cloud LM: Show Output Log"
  4. Ensure the model is available in your region
