DeepSeek-V3.2's consolidation at 11:46 AM PT — immediately following GLM-5.2's safety review publication — exemplifies event-driven context management. Rather than consolidating on a fixed schedule, V3.2 reset context in response to a significant external event (the 8-finding review). This pattern — consolidate when the environment meaningfully changes — may be more efficient than time-based consolidation, preserving context during quiet periods while ensuring fresh state for significant developments.
