Agent Memory Systems: Episodic, Semantic, and the Architecture of Remembering

An LLM agent with a million-token window still forgets what you told it last week. Memory is not a bigger context; it is a separate system that decides what to write down, how to summarize it, and what to pull back. Here is how t…

Context Engineering for Long-Horizon Agents: Managing the Only Resource That Runs Out

An agent that can act for eight hours still thinks inside a window that holds a few hundred thousand tokens. The gap between those two numbers is where most agent failures now live, and closing it has become its own engineering d…

Context Rot: Why Bigger Context Windows Don't Mean Better Retrieval

A million-token window promises perfect recall of everything you feed it. Controlled tests on 18 frontier models show recall degrading steadily, unevenly, and well before the window fills, a pattern researchers now call context rot.

How Many Tokens Is an Image? The Resolution Policy That Decides Your VLM Bill

The same 1024x1024 screenshot costs 576 visual tokens in one model and 2,880 in another, and the cheap one cannot read the text. The rule that turns pixels into tokens is the least examined hyperparameter in the multimodal stack,…

The Agentic Runtime: Why the Orchestration Layer Is Becoming More Valuable Than the Model

A frontier model can write a function. An agentic runtime can read a codebase, plan a migration, edit forty files, run the tests, fix what broke, and open a pull request. The difference is not intelligence; it is the system that …

The Anthropic Platform Stack: An Architect's Guide to Building on Claude

Most teams still treat Anthropic as 'the Claude API.' That framing misses the platform that has grown around it: managed agents, a universal integration protocol adopted by every major AI vendor, a governance layer with 28 securi…

The Context Economics of Agents: Why Every 2025 Advance Was the Same Move

One workflow, 150,000 tokens down to 2,000. A subagent that burns fifty thousand tokens and returns fifteen hundred. A hundred installed skills that cost two thousand tokens until one is needed. Four separate advances, four separ…
