Add a dependency graph of different agents and tools. Use summarization (either selecting subsections or rewriting). Give it a scratch space. Use RAG. Why would it need to load the whole code base into memory? We can build very complex architectures on top of this task that mix LLMs with software. https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.09171 This isn&amp;#x27;t hypothetical; all of these&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2402.09171/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.

TestGen-LLM verifies that its generated test classes successfully clear a set of filters that assure measurable improvement over the original test suite, thereby eliminating problems due to LLM hallucination. [...] We believe this is the first report on industrial scale deployment of LLM-generated code backed by such assurances of code improvement.
