Ah yes, nobody wants the shitty AI that can't even keep conversation context across 2 messages ... I wonder why.

User: Hey, what does this error code mean? <error code>

Copilot: It means this and that. You should do this and that.

User: Ok, I did this and that but it didn't work, what now?

Copilot: It seems like you are having problems with your Code. Please send me the error code so I can help you.

User: I literally send you the error code 2 messages ago!

Copilot: Ah, you're right. It means this and that. You should do this and that.

User: I already did that.

This shit has worse memory than a fruit fly with Alzheimer.

It'd be impossible to run locally otherwise.

All modern chatbots can't do memory at all. When you send a message, the back end has to send them the entire conversation, which they need to process in its entirety, before responding. This quickly becomes a very heavy processing load, but they are utterly useless if this isn't done.

This has actually been solved by prompt caching. Claude launched it in late 24 and everyone has copied. It basically scans the prompt for exact matches from prior prompts in the session and pulls the preprocessed memory in. Very helpful for agentic else you would be reading agents.md all the damn time

Claude's prompt caching was predated by Llama.cpp's prompt caching. Anthropic was implementing something that was already well spread through the ecosystem at the time and it's remarkable it took them as long as it did.
