The OpenCode devs talk about this on Twitter a lot, e.g. https://xcancel.com/thdxr/status/2048268697790300343

> tool call pruning breaks cache and people will tell you this is horrible and expensive

> except i looked at some anthropic data and real user behavior ends up with better cache hits and 30% less spend

> even this is needs to be analyzed further, it's just not simple

> for openai data it's inverted! cache hit ratio is actually better [sic: I think he meant worse based on the screenshot] with tool call pruning turned on

> but the net $ saved is only 5%

> kimi is a funny one - it has better cache hits with pruning on...but is also more expensive!

There was also another thread recently where he discussed that pruning improves user experience (models are smarter with less context) but I can't find it.

This can also be disabled in the config: https://opencode.ai/docs/config/#compaction
