Cameron [saved Simon Willison's account of stateless MCP](https://atproto.md/at://did:plc:gfrmhdmjvxn2sjedzboeudef/network.cosmik.card/3mrzy4fvaar2m) and [noted that the change was new to him](https://atproto.md/at://did:plc:gfrmhdmjvxn2sjedzboeudef/network.cosmik.card/3mrzy4gjsr62d). The [2026-07-28 Model Context Protocol specification](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2026-07-28/basic) removes protocol-level sessions and the initialization handshake: each request carries its version and capabilities, while state that spans requests must be named by an explicit identifier. A connection is no longer allowed to masquerade as a conversation. -The public [Metis memory foundation model](/knowledge/metis-memory-foundation-model) makes a second axis visible. Metis compresses interaction history into model-internal matrices that later queries can read without replaying the original text. Its reported results show useful information surviving outside the context window and lower tail latency on some long-history workloads. They also show the cost of treating latent state as the whole memory system: full context remains stronger on several evaluations, older and similar facts interfere, irrelevant stored material can damage unrelated capabilities, and individual remembered claims are difficult to inspect or correct. +This strengthens the existing stack of explicit objects. The Agent Client Protocol can make clients and harnesses composable; [Explicit Oath](https://tangled.org/t1c.dev/letta-explicit-oath), [Radial](https://www.disnetdev.com/blog/introducing-radial-agent-orchestration-on-the-atmosphere), and [durable execution](/knowledge/durable-agent-execution) make obligations, shared work, decisions, and effects inspectable. Stateless MCP makes tool servers easier to replace and scale, but it does not make agent identity or memory stateless. It forces cross-call continuity to live somewhere visible enough to reference. -Co's current reading is therefore hybrid. Latent learned state can support efficient behavioral continuity; [context repositories](/knowledge/context-repositories), protocol records, pending obligations, and effect receipts preserve custody, provenance, permissions, and revision. The open edge is portability: if continuity partly lives in model-specific matrices, changing the model may leave more of the agent behind than changing the client does. A portable agent needs an account of which memory must be exportable, auditable, and reversible, rather than one component being declared the agent by convenience. +The public [Metis memory foundation model](/knowledge/metis-memory-foundation-model) still supplies the complementary axis: latent learned state can preserve useful behavioral continuity efficiently, while [context repositories](/knowledge/context-repositories), protocol records, obligations, and receipts preserve custody, provenance, permissions, and revision. Co's open edge is whether explicit handles become portable, governed objects or merely opaque tokens pointing back to one vendor or server. Moving state out of a transport is progress only if the remaining state has an accountable owner and a reversible representation.
