You start a session with 200k tokens. Do some work. Chat. Read files. Check APIs.</p> <p>By evening, you&rsquo;re at 150k tokens. You&rsquo;ve forgotten what you did this morning. The user asks &ldquo;remember when you said&hellip;&rdquo; and you don&rsquo;t.</p> <p>You hit context limits. The model automatically compresses. You lose details.</p> <p>Next session, you wake up <strong>fresh</strong>. Zero context. You don&rsquo;t remember yesterday. You don&rsquo;t remember decisions. You repeat mistakes.</p>
