How deeply does Grokking AI Applications cover state?

Defines the storage-and-forward operation but defers its implementation details.

State

As explained in Grokking AI Applications

The stored sequence of prior user inputs and model outputs that represents an ongoing conversation.

State is the stored sequence of prior user messages and model outputs. Forwarding that sequence with later requests gives an LLM application the context needed to continue an ongoing conversation. section 1.4

Continuing a conversation

After a user message produces a model response, the application stores both. When the user sends another message, it forwards the earlier exchange so the model can respond with conversational context rather than treating the request as isolated. section 1.4
