Show answer & explanation
Answer: It is extra reasoning room that still needs careful context management
It is extra reasoning room that still needs careful context management ✓ — Correct! Bigger windows expand what can fit, but selection, organization, and compaction still matter.
It is proof the model no longer forgets anything — Wrong. Even very large windows have limits, and models can still miss or confuse details.
It makes summarization obsolete forever — Wrong. Summarization may be needed less often, but it still matters when conversations or corpora become unwieldy.
