Is AI actually getting better at understanding context in long conversations, or does it still fall apart?
This article discusses the limitations of AI models in maintaining context over long conversations, highlighting recency bias and the distinction between context window size and actual comprehension. It suggests practical workarounds like restating constraints and using running context documents.
Context is everything, but context rot is the real ceiling on AI agents and bigger context windows make it worse not better
The article argues that context rot—the degradation of reasoning quality as context fills—is the true ceiling on AI agents, not context window size. It advocates for architectural approaches that decompose tasks and use independent verification to surpass limitations.
