Those who work with LONG sessions know the pain of compactions and model losing most of it’s context, and you also know the pain of increasing the context because that costs too much cache read prices. i usually keep my opus 5.5 sessions under 300k context . anything above that burns a hole through the usage. but i let the sessions usually continue through the autocompact… but many people here also follow the approach of HANDOFFS, but i think that method is worse because model had to draft it and it has to re-read it in a new conversation and many new conversation gets made, it’s a lot worse to manage compared to one single session that compacts and goes on. your thoughts? which approach models perform better? , that is the metric i wanted to know! submitted by /u/Skibidirot
