AI is moving fast, but one of the biggest bottlenecks isnt model size or compute power, its **context management**.
For years, **Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)** has been the go-to method for extending large language models (LLMs). By bolting on vector databases and search, RAG helps models pull in relevant documents. It works, but only to a point. Anyone whos scaled production systems knows the cracks:
* RAG treats knowledge as flat text snippets, missing relationships and nuance.
* Git and other version-control systems capture *code history*, but not the evolving reasoning behind decisions.
* Static context caches snap a picture in time, but knowledge and workflows dont stand still.
In short: **RAG, Git, and static context snapshots arent enough for the next generation of AI.**
## Why Hierarchical Context Matters
Knowledge isnt just a pile of files — its layered, temporal, and deeply interconnected. AI systems need to track *how* reasoning unfolds, *why* decisions were made, and *how context evolves over time*. Thats where **Chorus** comes in.
Instead of treating context as documents to fetch, we treat it as a **living, distributed hierarchy**. Chorus enables agents to share, navigate, and build on structured threads of reasoning across domains and time. Its not just about retrieval — its about orchestration, memory, and continuity.
## Research Is Moving the Same Way
The AI research frontier points in this direction too:
* **NVIDIAs recent small model papers** showed that scaling up isnt the only answer — well-designed small models can outperform by being more structured and specialized.
* The **Hierarchical Reasoning Model (HRM)** highlights how smarter architectures, not just bigger context windows, unlock deeper reasoning.
Both emphasize the same principle: **intelligence comes from structure, not size alone**.
## Whats Next
Chorus is building the scaffolding for this new paradigm. Our goal is to make context:
* **Persistent** reasoning doesnt vanish when the session ends.
* **Navigable** past decisions and justifications are always accessible.
* **Collaborative** multiple agents can share and evolve context together.
Were not giving away the full blueprint yet, but if youre interested in what lies **beyond RAG**, beyond Git, and beyond static memory hacks, keep watching.
The future of **AI context management** is closer than you think.
