+> *"Don't explain the black box after the crime was committed. Physically blindfold the model."*
+
+**saccade** is an open-source Python library for **Intrinsically Interpretable Vision Transformers (ViTs)** and **LLM Prompt Token Compression**. Instead of relying on post-hoc saliency heuristics (like Grad-CAM) that generate plausible-looking "interpretability illusions", `saccade` introduces an explicit **hard attention bottleneck** that physically discards uninformative tokens.
+
+1. **Vision ViT Saccading**: Discard up to **94% of image patches** while preserving full diagnostic accuracy. Downstream predictions are causally bound only to the preserved $K$ coordinates ($\partial \hat{y} / \partial x_m \equiv 0$).
+2. **LLM Prompt Saccading**: Prune **60% to 75% of input prompt tokens** by discarding syntactic fluff and conversational padding ("breaking grammar"), slashing API costs, prefill latency, and KV-cache footprint while maintaining reasoning fidelity.
+
+---
+
+## ⚡ Quickstart
+
+Install directly from GitHub via pip:
+
+```bash
+pip install git+https://github.com/helloitsdaksh/saccade.git
+```
+
+Or clone for local development:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/helloitsdaksh/saccade.git
+cd saccade
+pip install -e .
+```
+
+### 1. Vision ViT Saccade (3 Lines)
+
+```python
+import torch
+from saccade import SaccadeViT, export_interactive_html
+
+# 1. Instantiate ViT with intrinsic attention bottleneck
+# Only 12 out of 196 patches (6.1% budget) reach downstream layers
+model = SaccadeViT.from_pretrained(
+    "vit_tiny_patch16_224",
+    num_classes=1000,
+    top_k_patches=12,
+    bottleneck_layer=6
+)
+
+# 2. Forward pass returns class predictions and exact spatial metadata
+image = torch.randn(1, 3, 224, 224)
+logits, meta = model(image, return_saccades=True)
+
+print("Preserved Patch Indices:", meta.patch_indices)
+print("Bounding Boxes [ymin, xmin, ymax, xmax]:", meta.bounding_boxes)
+
+# 3. Export standalone interactive web visualizer (zero dependencies)
+export_interactive_html(model=model, image=image, output_path="saccade_viewer.html")
+```
+
+### 2. LLM Prompt Token Saccade (3 Lines)
+
+```python
+from saccade import PromptSaccade
+
+# 1. Instantiate the prompt compressor
+compressor = PromptSaccade(model_name="distilgpt2", device="cpu")
+
+# 2. Compress prompt by 70% (strips syntactic fluff, retains semantic hubs)
+prompt = (
+    "Please carefully review and analyze the following quarterly report and "
+    "summarize whether enterprise cloud software revenue grew year-over-year: "
+    "'The company reported enterprise cloud revenue surged 34% to $6.8 billion.' "
+    "What was the growth rate?"
+)
+
+result = compressor.compress(prompt, compression_ratio=0.30)
+
+print(result.compressed_text)
+# => "quarterly report summarize enterprise cloud software revenue grew: enterprise cloud revenue surged 34% $6.8 billion. What growth rate?"
+
+print(f"Token reduction: {result.token_savings_pct:.1f}% ({result.original_tokens} -> {result.compressed_tokens} tokens)")
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🔬 Core Mechanics: ViT Spatial Bottleneck
+
+In standard ViTs, downstream classification heads observe all $N$ tokens across the full image sequence. `saccade` intercepts the self-attention affinity matrix $A$ at an intermediate probing layer $L_b$:
+
+```
+Input Image [B, C, H, W]
+       │
+       ▼
+Patch Tokenizer & ViT Blocks 0 .. L_b [B, N, D]
+       │
+       ▼
+Self-Attention Matrix A ∈ R^{N × N}  (Layer L_b)
+       │
+       ▼
+Patch Importance Voting: p_j = ∑_{i=1}^N A_{i, j}
+       │
+       ▼
+Hard Top-K Bottleneck (Discard all but K tokens)
+       │
+       ▼
+Sparse Downstream Predictor Blocks (L_b + 1 .. L_end)
+       │
+       ▼
+Class Prediction ŷ (Causally derived ONLY from K patches)
+```
+
+### 1. Patch Importance Voting ($p$)
+For an input sequence of $N$ spatial patches, let $A \in \mathbb{R}^{N \times N}$ denote the attention affinity matrix from probing layer $L_b$. The **column sum** represents the total "votes" cast for patch $j$ by all other spatial querying locations:
+
+$$p_j = \sum_{i=1}^N A_{i, j}$$
+
+### 2. Hard Top-$K$ Spatial Saccade
+The model sorts $p$ and routes only the top-$K$ patches (e.g., $K=12$ out of $196$ patches, representing $< 7\%$ of the visual scene) into subsequent transformer layers:
+
+$$\mathcal{J}_K = \text{TopK}(p, K)$$
+
+$$\mathbf{Z}_{\text{downstream}} = [\mathbf{z}_{\text{cls}}, \; \mathbf{z}_{\mathcal{J}_K}]$$
+
+### 3. Guaranteed Causal Faithfulness
+Downstream predictions are causally bound to only those $K$ patches. All non-selected patches are physically removed from the compute graph:
+
+$$\frac{\partial \hat{y}}{\partial x_m} \equiv 0 \quad \forall m \notin \mathcal{J}_K$$
+
+---
+
+## 💬 LLM Prompt Token Saccading ("Breaking Grammar")
+
+Large Language Models do not read like humans. Conversational politeness (*"Could you please assist me by..."*, *"It should be noted that in accordance with..."*) consumes up to **70% of prompt token budgets** and bloats the KV cache with low-information syntactic glue.
+
+`PromptSaccade` runs a fast single-pass attention probe over the prompt to calculate:
+1. **Self-Attention In-Degree**: Identifies semantic anchor tokens that subsequent clauses heavily attend to.
+2. **Shannon Entropy Sieve**: Filters out predictable, high-probability syntactic padding.
+
+### Empirical Prompt Compression Benchmark
+
+Run the benchmark locally:
+```bash
+python examples/llm_prompt_saccade.py
+```
+
+| Task Category | Original Tokens | Saccaded Tokens | Tokens Saved | Token Reduction | Estimated Prefill Speedup |
+| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: |
+| **Pathology / Medical Report** | 124 | 39 | 85 | **68.5%** | ~3.2× |
+| **Financial SEC 10-Q Analysis** | 116 | 34 | 82 | **70.7%** | ~3.4× |
+| **Python Bug Diagnostic** | 91 | 30 | 61 | **67.0%** | ~3.0× |
+| **Average Across Workloads** | **110** | **34** | **76** | **68.9%** | **~3.2×** |
+
+*Estimated API savings: **\$2,280 saved per 1M queries** (at \$10/M tokens).*

+| :--- | :---: | :---: |

+| **Gradient Leakage on Discarded Pixels** | ⚠️ Non-zero everywhere ($\|\nabla_x\| > 0$) | ✅ **Identically 0.000000** |
+| **Pruning Capability** | ❌ None (observes full image) | ✅ **Prunes 94% of input tokens** |
+| **AUC-Deletion (Steeper drop is better)** | ~0.35 | **0.166** |
+| **Interactive Perturbation in Browser** | ❌ Requires live Python backend | ✅ **Zero-dependency standalone HTML** |
