# Compact context

> Compresses a conversation into an opaque encrypted compaction item using the
OpenAI-compatible context compaction API.

The response `output` array contains the original user messages plus a final item
with `type: "response.compaction"` and an `encrypted_content` field. Pass the
full `output` array as `input` to future Responses API requests to continue the
conversation without retransmitting the full history.

**Supported providers:** OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, xAI. Requests to unsupported
providers return a 400 error.

  title: Bifrost API
  description: >
    Bifrost HTTP Transport API for AI model inference and gateway management.


    This API provides a unified interface for interacting with multiple AI
    providers

    including OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock, Gemini, and more through a single API,

    along with comprehensive management APIs for configuring and monitoring the
    gateway.


    ## API Structure


    ### Unified Inference API (`/v1/*`)

    The primary API using Bifrost's unified format. Model parameters use the
    format

    `provider/model` (e.g., `openai/gpt-4`, `anthropic/claude-3-opus`).


    ### Async Inference API (`/v1/async/*`)

    Submit inference requests for asynchronous execution. Returns a job ID
    immediately

    and allows polling for results. Supports all inference types except batches,
    files,

    and containers.


    ### Provider Integration APIs

    Native provider-format APIs for drop-in compatibility:

    - `/openai/*` - OpenAI-compatible API

    - `/anthropic/*` - Anthropic-compatible API

    - `/genai/*` - Google GenAI (Gemini) compatible API

    - `/bedrock/*` - AWS Bedrock compatible API

    - `/cohere/*` - Cohere compatible API


    ### Framework Integration APIs

    Multi-provider proxy endpoints for AI frameworks:

    - `/litellm/*` - LiteLLM proxy with all provider formats

    - `/langchain/*` - LangChain compatible endpoints

    - `/pydanticai/*` - PydanticAI compatible endpoints


    ### Management APIs (`/api/*`)

    APIs for managing and monitoring the Bifrost gateway:

    - `/api/config` - Configuration management

    - `/api/providers` - Provider and API key management

    - `/api/plugins` - Plugin management

    - `/api/governance/*` - Virtual keys, teams, customers, budgets, rate
    limits, routing rules, and pricing overrides

    - `/api/logs` - Log search and analytics

    - `/api/mcp/*` - MCP (Model Context Protocol) client management

    - `/api/session/*` - Authentication and session management

    - `/api/cache/*` - Cache management

    - `/health` - Health check endpoint


    ## Fallbacks

    Requests can include fallback models that will be tried if the primary model
    fails.

        Accepted on management APIs (`/api/*`, `/metrics`, `/ws`) only - the
        inference

        middleware never validates Basic credentials.

      in: header

      description: >
        Bifrost Virtual Key for governance, routing, and access control.
        Supported on all inference endpoints (`/v1/*`, `/openai/*`,
        `/anthropic/*`, `/bedrock/*`, `/cohere/*`, `/genai/*`, `/langchain/*`,
        `/litellm/*`, `/pydanticai/*`, `/mcp`), not on management APIs
        (`/api/*`) - with the single

        exception of the self-service `GET /api/governance/virtual-keys/quota`,
        where the virtual key is the credential.

        Example: `sk-bf-*` prefixed keys.
