Context Language Models: letting an LLM edit its own context and absorb the harness
daniel_mac8 · x · 2026-10-03
danielmac8 highlights Context Language Models (CLM), a concept where the LLM can edit its own context rather than passively receiving it.
The key idea is that the model "absorbs the harness": responsibilities traditionally handled by external scaffolding—context compaction, memory management, tool orchestration—become internal model capabilities, suggesting a shift in agent architecture from external engineering to built-in context self-management.
