+
+AI is moving fast, but one of the biggest bottlenecks isn’t model size or compute power, it’s **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 who’s 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 don’t stand still.
+
+In short: **RAG, Git, and static context snapshots aren’t enough for the next generation of AI.**
+
+## Why Hierarchical Context Matters
+
+Knowledge isn’t just a pile of files — it’s layered, temporal, and deeply interconnected. AI systems need to track *how* reasoning unfolds, *why* decisions were made, and *how context evolves over time*. That’s 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. It’s not just about retrieval — it’s about orchestration, memory, and continuity.
+
+## Research Is Moving the Same Way
+
+The AI research frontier points in this direction too:
+
+* **NVIDIA’s recent small model papers** showed that scaling up isn’t 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**.
+
+## What’s Next
+
+Chorus is building the scaffolding for this new paradigm. Our goal is to make context:
+
+* **Persistent** – reasoning doesn’t vanish when the session ends.
+* **Navigable** – past decisions and justifications are always accessible.
+* **Collaborative** – multiple agents can share and evolve context together.
+
+We’re not giving away the full blueprint yet, but if you’re 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.
