CLM

I want to evaluate and, if it fits, integrate a technique from recent AI research into my project.

## Technique: CLM
New method lets LLMs manage their own context, beating human-designed strategies by 47.6%

CLM (Context-managing Language Models): instead of externally-programmed recency/importance/alignment scoring, the LLM itself classifies each conversation segment as ANCHOR/KEEP/COMPRESS/DROP before each call. Beats all human-designed context strategies by 47.6% on multi-turn task accuracy. Drop-in via a lightweight reflection prompt (~200 tokens overhead). Directly applicable to any agent pipeline with long conversation history.

What the reference demo shows: 4-sub-tab Gradio demo — (1) Architecture: human-designed vs CLM classification comparison; (2) Benchmarks: task accuracy + token efficiency chart across 5 strategies; (3) Live Demo: classify a 10-turn RAG planning conversation for any query; (4) Implementation Patterns: 3 patterns (inline wrapper, session with anchors, async with caching).

## My project
<Describe your stack, the problem you want to solve and where this technique would sit. Example: "Python FastAPI RAG service over 50k PDFs, Postgres + pgvector, OpenAI embeddings, p95 latency budget 800 ms.">

## What I need from you
1. Read the reference source code and explain in at most 5 bullets how the technique works and what it would change compared to my current approach.
2. Decide whether it fits my case. If it does not, say why and stop there.
3. Propose the smallest viable integration: files or modules to touch, new dependencies, configuration.
4. Implement it behind a flag or as a separate function so it can be compared side by side with what I have today.
5. Add an evaluation script that measures task success rate, number of steps and token cost per task, before and after, on my own data.
6. List the risks (latency, cost, failure modes) and what to monitor once it is in production.

Constraints: keep my existing stack and conventions, avoid heavy dependencies unless the gain is clear, and reference the file in the demo source whenever you reuse its logic.
