Built for Autonomous Multi-Turn Loops

Why long-running VS Code agent sessions thrive on Newton’s edge proxy.

01 · MASSIVE CONTEXT SAVINGS

Prompt Caching Pass-Through

In a 40-turn autonomous refactoring task, Roo Code re-sends the growing conversation history. Newton’s passes upstream prompt cache savings directly to your wallet, turning massive token bills into affordable development runs.

02 · SEAMLESS STREAMING

Sub-50ms TTFT to VS Code

Newton’s runs on Cloudflare’s worldwide edge network across 330+ points of presence. Token streams render smoothly in the Roo Code side panel without lag or dropped chunks.

03 · MULTI-SUPPLIER FALLBACK

Zero Mid-Session Halts

Never have an autonomous agent get stuck halfway through editing 15 files due to a sudden upstream 429 rate limit. Newton’s routes around upstream traffic spikes transparently.
