Agent Memory & State
How do context-window limits relate to persisted agent workflow state?
Context-window limits and persisted agent workflow state are critical paired components for Catalyst-powered production AI agents. Context windows cap the maximum available context per individual LLM inference step, while Catalyst’s durable persisted workflow state stores long-term cross-step workflow data to offload excess context rather than including it in every LLM call. You should not rely on context windows as a direct replacement for durable state in long-running agent workflows.
