Allie Miller shared an industry signal from her conversations with leaders at OpenAI, Anthropic and Google: they don't worry about context length or context windows — "like, at all."
They all maintain crazy long-running threads, and one told her a single thread of his has accumulated billions of tokens. The detail hints that, for heavy users inside frontier labs, context capacity may no longer be treated as a scarce resource.
