Are you interested in that?

Yeah, I've lived that, actually.

Like, working with an agent, like, in my terminal, I've been constantly reminding it, like, remember, you should check all the scripts to make sure that you, you know, know all the dependencies of everything.

Like, I'm doing that.

So, like, yeah, use Factory because it'll save you those tokens.

So let's talk about the blog that you just published called Evaluating Compression.

Really, really awesome blog and research that you did.

The hardest part about working on large codebases is context, right?

So why is maintaining context across long agent sessions so difficult?

And how did you attempt to solve this?

So...

Two things.

Number one, I saw Ray Fernando, who's one of my favorite AI coders on YouTube, say he had a coding session with Factory with 7 million token context, which is just gnarly.

I can't believe that.

How is that even possible?

Is it just from applying this technique?

And I guess the other question is just in production, why does this matter, right?

We kind of talked about it, but maybe we could just put a finer point on it.

I was going to ask that.

Would you ever launch a general purpose?
