Clip transcript
you know, doing our own research there. Um and just some takeaways cuz I wanted to leave some time for questions. Um context management is iterative. We are still learning. I think everybody should continue to learn and lean in and try to optimize their context management. The few things that I think are really clear is that context engineering really does matter. Memory matters and evaluation matters. If you're going to take anything away from me or us at a rise, it's those three things and that's from our experience as well as our experience with all of our user base. And finally, agents don't fail because of prompts, they fail because of context. I think that's something that we've learned firsthand and that we're seeing more and more. In the early days, prompts were everything. Everybody was focused on prompt engineering, but ourselves and all of our users are really focused now on context engineering and there's a lot of strategies that can go into that.
