Podcast: Context Engineering with Adi Polak
Prompt engineering is dead. Here's what's replacing it: context engineering for stateful AI systems.
The KeyNews take
Why it matters
As LLMs power agentic systems, the technical approach to AI interaction is shifting from stateless prompt engineering to stateful context engineering—a fundamental change in how companies should architect AI workflows.
