Microsoft Study Clears Chat History for AI Agents
3 min read
Microsoft Research finds clearing chat history improves AI agent performance by 66 percent. The 'Fork-and-Flush' method tested on 13 tasks using GPT-5.6-terra and GPT-5.5 models achieved a normalized average score of 0.78, compared to 0.47 for single runs. Researchers note this gain persists even with substantially more compute, suggesting context resets remain useful for frontier research agents.
