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.
