- Ce qui s'est passé
- Research proposes Agentic Context Management framework to control AI agent memory and token costs through lifecycle-based architecture rather than simple storage-retrieval.
- Pourquoi ça compte
- Matters for engineers building production AI agents that accumulate conversation history, face quadratic token cost growth, and experience context degradation over time.
- Vigilance
- Paper describes a reference implementation with reported benchmarks but does not yet address decision-level or organization-level context management at scale.

Abstract: Production AI agents' failures are less often due to an inability to reason well and more often because they cannot manage what is in their reasoning context: conversation histories, large prompts, large tool definitions, and ballooning tool outputs. Agents drown in their own accumulating history while paying a token cost that grows every turn, producing missing recalls within and across conversations. The incumbent response treats this as a storage-and-retrieval problem. We argue that framing is too narrow. Actively managing what an agent holds in mind is a lifecycle, not merely a store: it spans deciding what to remember, extracting and structuring it, choosing the right store per data type, consolidating and forgetting while preserving provenance, deciding what is relevant now, anticipating what is needed next, and compacting context to a budget without losing what matters. In serious production this operates not over a single us
