The premise
Long-running agents need context management; ignoring it produces failures or runaway costs.
What AI does well here
- Design summarization checkpoints that compress context as it grows
- Maintain key state in structured form (not pure prose) for reliability
- Use external storage for information that doesn't need to be in active context
- Test long-running behavior (most agents are demoed for 5 minutes, deployed for hours)
What AI cannot do
- Stuff infinite context into the model
- Substitute long context for actual state management
- Eliminate the cost growth of long-running agents
