    Surprised the community hasn’t found better ways to reduce context, 100k is insane. Is it possible to make the agent work on smaller pieces at a time, so less context is needed per piece?

      Oh for sure. Agents often use under 30k tokens, but the orchestrator needs to have enough information to instruct the agents so it typically is a fair bit bigger in context. Agents tend to save you money on frontier models, but I’m skeptical about local LLMs. I suppose if you aren’t pressed for time it’s probably just fine. I haven’t played that much with it because anything big enough to bother with agents I typically feel is too big for local anyway. But I’m sure others have experimented more on that front than I have.
