> When context gets too long, maki compacts history automatically: strips images, thinking blocks, and summarizes older turns.

Don’t the summaries of older turns effectively invalidate the context cache, such that you consume less tokens but more expensive tokens?

Auto-compact is the only missing feature on my list. Claude‘s approach, if I understand it correctly, invalidates a lot of cached context, and I‘m thinking about a more cache-friendly strategy.

Even if we wanted to, we couldn’t do it because our memory doesn’t work that way. LLM on the other hand can totally do that, and there’s nothing you can do to prevent it.

Of course the mismatch creates some friction, but the benefits of org-mode, for me personally, easily outweigh that.

I‘m struggling to see the appeal given that the JS still needs to model the internal structure of the template in order to fill the slots.

I hardly ever do this. In the cinema, theater, or when listening to the radio it’s simply impossible and it still works.

No need to memorize everything (which makes transfomers expensive), just keep the relevant info. SSM are essentially recurrent models.
