Debate: Is context rot a hard ceiling for LLM agents, or a solvable problem?
binarybits · x · 2026-09-16
binarybits and @michaelbd clash over LLM agent limits. The latter argues context rot and information loss during compaction are real, fundamental constraints; binarybits pushes back, noting it's inconvenient that useful runtimes overlap with failure-prone ones, but he sees no evidence these problems are unsolvable or that models are near their utility ceiling before hitting those constraints.
