 # LongCodeZip
@@ -130,54 +141,4 @@ Navigate to the `long-code-completion` directory:
 ```bash
 cd long-code-completion
 bash run.sh
-```
-
-This evaluates LongCodeZip on long-context code completion tasks with various configurations including different target token limits, fine-grained compression ratios, and importance beta values.
-
-**Key Parameters:**
-- `--code_compressor_target_token`: Target token budget
-- `--code_compressor_fine_ratio`: Fine-grained compression ratio
-- `--importance_beta`: Importance weighting parameter
-
-### Code Summarization
-
-Navigate to the `module-summarization` directory:
-
-```bash
-cd module-summarization
-bash run.sh
-```
-
-This runs code summarization experiments with fine-grained compression and various beta values for importance weighting.
-
-**Key Parameters:**
-- `--code_compressor_target_token`: Target token budget
-- `--code_compressor_fine_ratio`: Fine-grained compression ratio
-- `--importance_beta`: Importance weighting parameter
-
-## Configuration
-
-Each task can be customized by modifying the respective `run.sh` file or by directly calling the main scripts with custom parameters. Key configuration options include:
-
-- **Model Selection**: Compatible with various code LLMs (default: Qwen2.5-Coder-7B-Instruct)
-- **Compression Ratios**: Adjustable compression levels for different use cases
-- **Token Budgets**: Configurable target token limits
-- **GPU Configuration**: Multi-GPU support for parallel experiments
-
-## Performance
-
-LongCodeZip achieves up to **5.6× compression ratio** without sacrificing task performance across code completion, summarization, and retrieval tasks. And even when using a 0.5B Qwen model as the compressor, it can also achieve competitive performance.
