    State of Context Engineering: Balancing Deterministic and Probabilistic Logic

    • The core challenge in context engineering is deciding when to rely on deterministic code versus probabilistic model outputs.
    • As base models improve, users and harness builders must continuously adapt strategies to overcome new failure modes.
    • The talk serves as a state-of-the-field review, covering the origins, current status, and future directions of context engineering.
