GitLab has introduced "Orbit," a knowledge graph that structures code repositories to provide agents with precise context, addressing the issue of high token costs associated with large language models. This approach, validated by GitLab's own development team, significantly reduces the amount of data agents need to process, thereby cutting costs. The article contrasts GitLab's solution with a local, MCP-native alternative called jCodeMunch, which offers similar efficiency benefits without requiring enterprise-level infrastructure or recurring fees.
