Skill issue?

Nothing prevents an LLM agent from writing a bunch of "notes to self" and using that. And the next model from picking those notes up and using them. Coding agents already do some of that natively.

Hell, we might eventually get an LLM to say "wow the old AI was an incompetent idiot" after reviewing all the notes and session logs. That's how we know we reached human parity!



The context window limit prevents it, for one.


Only if you are incapable of fitting both the task and task-relevant data into it. And 1M contexts are mainstream by now.

Context size is a capacity limit, not a showstopper.
