Berke Argin is Chief AI Officer and Co-Founder at Compresr, a Y Combinator backed company building LLM-native context compression technology for AI agents and RAG systems.

Berke studied Computer Science at EPFL and previously worked as an AI Research Intern at UBS, where he focused on machine learning systems and efficiency.

Berke co-authored research on cultural knowledge in large language models published at Princeton's Center for Information Technology Policy. He is on a mission to make every token count in AI applications.

Compresr was founded in 2026 and joined Y Combinator's Winter 2026 batch, providing an API that cuts token costs and improves accuracy with 100x compression. The company is based in San Francisco and serves developers building AI agents and retrieval-augmented generation pipelines.

Compresr's technology enables seamless integration into agentic workflows through an open-source proxy that works with Claude Code and OpenClaw. The platform helps companies reduce long context to essentials, making AI generation better, faster, and more cost-effective.
