There should be a simple button that allows you refine the context. A fresh LLM could generate a new context from the input and outputs of the chat history, then another fresh LLM can start over with that context.


It's easy to miss: ChatGPT now has a "branch to new chat" option to branch off from any reply.


You are saying “fresh LLM” but really I think you’re referring to a curated context. The existing coding agents have mechanisms to do this. Saving context to a file. Editing the file. Clearing all context except for the file. It’s sort of clunky now but it will get better and slicker.


It seems that I have missed this existing feature, I’m only a light user of LLMs, I’ll keep an eye out for it.


some sibling comments mentioned Claude code has this
