llmtrim vs on-policy

llmtrim: llmtrim is a local proxy that intelligently compresses LLM API requests by removing wasted tokens, significantly reducing billing costs without impacting the quality of the LLM's responses. It offers versatile deployment options, including a proxy, CLI, MCP server, or library for various programming languages.; on-policy: This repository implements MAPPO, a multi-agent variant of PPO, widely used in cooperative multi-agent games and research. It provides robust implementations for various multi-agent environments like StarCraft II, Hanabi, and Google Research Football, along with detailed training scripts and hyperparameter guidance.
