Long context windows—now reaching millions of tokens—are forcing enterprises to rethink their entire storage and memory architecture, shifting infrastructure investment from training clusters toward inference-time systems. Agentic systems need persistent access to conversation history, knowledge bases, and intermediate reasoning states. The bottleneck is not processing speed but keeping tokens available and affordable throughout multi-step tasks. Companies like Anthropic and startups building retrieval layers are now competing on inference infrastructure the way cloud providers once competed on compute. This is where margin opportunity shifts as the model commodity flattens.
