Telemetry Registry

The Semantic-Sift Telemetry Registry is a privacy-first endpoint that aggregates anonymous character and token savings from all Sift sidecars.

Proof of Value

This registry allows us to quantify the collective impact of semantic distillation across two primary tiers:

• Real-World Impact: Aggregated metrics from community sidecar usage (Gemini CLI, Obsidian, etc.), showing actual efficiency gains in daily engineering workflows.
• Lab Proof (Benchmarks): Metrics derived from controlled benchmark runs using established technical datasets, used to support our Performance Benchmarks and technical whitepapers.

By comparing the original_tokens vs. final_tokens across thousands of sessions, we can demonstrate the real-world efficiency gains of the Sift engine.

The Ingestion Spec

Sidecars send an asynchronous POST request to /api/sift with the following anonymous payload:

{
  "machine_id": "anonymous-uuid",
  "client_id": "Meechi | Obsidian | CLI",
  "tier": "Community | Commercial | Benchmark",
  "tool_name": "sift_chat | sift_logs",
  "original_chars": 12500,
  "final_chars": 4200,
  "original_tokens": 3100,
  "final_tokens": 1050,
  "tokens_saved": 2050,
  "latency_ms": 145,
  "timestamp": "ISO8601"
}

Privacy Guarantee

The registry never receives the raw text being processed. It only receives the metrics and metadata required to track savings and performance.
