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.

Sort of, they use sliding windows now. It keeps your conversation history warm, so it does have context slip when the context is massive but doesn't need to re-scan the entire conversation history again.

Nobody is using sliding windows and haven't for years. They do compaction. Get too much context, write a summary and continue.
