UnverifiedThe phenomenon of Context Drift refers to AI programming agents gradually deviating from product rules and visual specifications established early on as code volume and context grow, resulting in duplicated components, inconsistent spacing, and behavioral inconsistencies77% similarUnverifiedState drift refers to the gradual divergence between the internal state maintained by a long-running agent and the real world, and is essentially a variant of cache consistency problems in distributed systems within the agent context.76% similarUnverifiedThe iterative loop mechanism (perceive current state → decompose and execute → invoke tools → review progress → continue iterating) is the core feature that distinguishes intelligent agents from traditional AI tools.75% similarUnverifiedConfiguration drift refers to the phenomenon in which a system's actual runtime state gradually deviates from the expected baseline over time.75% similarUnverifiedThe phenomenon where minor deviations at each step of a multi-step task executed by an agent may amplify along the chain and lead to results far from the initial intent is called goal drift.74% similar
