About this session
A year of shipping agent products taught us that context design outlives model choice. This talk covers the patterns that survived: compaction budgets, retrieval boundaries, and the observability you need before you can tune anything.
Speaker
Priya Raman
Staff Engineer, Latticework Systems
Priya leads the agent platform team at Latticework, where she rebuilt the company's retrieval stack around explicit context budgets after a rewrite that took two attempts. She writes the Context Notes newsletter and has been shipping LLM products since the first public API keys.
