- What happened
- Blast Radius is a memory management layer that reduces token consumption in agentic coding by 17-26% through predictive context eviction and archiving.
- Why it matters
- Engineers building AI coding agents care when token costs and context window overflow threaten project affordability and performance at scale.
- Watch out
- The paper shows zero recalled archived contexts across 450 test cases, raising questions about whether the eviction strategy might discard useful information too aggressively.
