Original: Context Window Management for Long-Running Agents: Strategies and Tradeoffs
Short summary
Five practical strategies for managing context windows in long-running agents, including sliding windows, summarization, and hierarchical memory approaches. Each strategy involves tradeoffs between token efficiency, response quality, and implementation complexity. Choose based on your agent's latency requirements and budget constraints.
- •Sliding window strategies trade depth for efficiency in context retention
- •Summarization approaches compress history while preserving key information
- •Hierarchical memory architectures separate short-term and long-term context
