And you could do like pretty simple context engineering to make that work.
In a world where you want this like general purpose agent that you can talk to synchronously and run these automations, the product experience people want is just one big linear chat where like everything is in one chat.
It works really well from a product experience, but the engineering gets really complicated because you can't just like have an infinitely long chat history that you feed into the LLM, even if you could be really, really expensive.
And you wouldn't want like every automation to have to send in 10 million tokens from all the previous runs.
And so we had to kind of totally rethink the way context engineering works and say, what if instead of the
The history being the thing we send to the LLM, what if the history is in the file system?
What if the files are the agent?
And you know, Mark had reason had a thing about this, and I I think people have figured this out, but you know, we made this switch kind of in November where we said, really, okay, what we need is a file system that has your history.
And then we need the thing that we actually send to the LLM to be just like hints at what's in the file system and what things you need to read to get the work done.
And that way we can scale the agent up, including the number of chat messages that were sent.
And there's a lot of samples we'll scale up in the future, but basically you can scale from what fits in the context window to what just fits in the file system.
You can fill up fit a lot more stuff from the file system.
There's a bunch of other stuff we've rebuilt.
So another big thing we've rebuilt is around computer use.
When we launched initially, computer use was like kind of this add-on.
You could have a Linux machine.
Actually, initially it was, it was a Windows machine, then it was a Linux machine, like tacked on.
And it really was kind of an afterthought.
You could use it for certain things.
It kind of worked okay, but most things you did with Agent didn't didn't touch it.
