Droid: 7M Tokens Without Forgetting | How It Works

The secret isn't a massive context window. It's the whole system they built around it. They compress sessions back to around 140k tokens at anchor points while making sure critical stuff like your to-do list and agents.md files persist through every compression cycle. What we cover: - Why most agents fall apart deep into sessions and how Droid handles it differently - The 140k token sweet spot and what happens at compression points - Spec mode vs plan mode and why the distinction matters - How anchored summaries preserve intent across massive sessions - Agent scaffolding and why it's the new way to think about building agents - Append-only message history for prompt caching and speed One person in my Discord ran a single session for 44 million tokens before it got weird. Try to beat that number. Disclosure: Factory AI sponsored my previous livestream. Link below gets you 40M free tokens if you want to test this yourself.
