Building a Production-Ready AI Chatbot with Memory and Context

Automated excerpt

Language models are stateless — every API call starts fresh, with no memory of anything said before. A 50-turn conversation at 200 tokens per turn costs 10,000 input tokens on every single request — most of it repeated context the model already processed in the previous call. Call trim_history before every LLM request.
