Webinar on Inside LLM Context Windows, Token Consumption, and Practical Context Engineering by Toni Ramchandani

We're excited to announce the upcoming TTTribeCast Webinar on: "Inside LLM Context Windows, Token Consumption, and Practical Context Engineering" by Toni Ramchandani ( Vice President at MSCI Inc.) 📅 26th August 2026 | Wednesday 🕘 5:00 PM – 6:30 PM IST 💻 Live on Zoom | Free to attend What will Toni speak about: This session explores what actually happens inside an LLM when context enters the model, covering tokenization, embeddings, attention, QKV, prefill, decode, and KV caching. It examines how context windows are allocated and consumed, and why simply increasing context length does not always improve model performance, with practical examples from Lost in the Middle, RULER, and NoLiMa. The session then moves into practical context engineering, covering signal density, token reduction, and how to identify the minimum sufficient context for a task, followed by an optimization ladder for improving local LLM performance with Ollama. You'll walk away with: ✅ Understand how tokens, attention, and KV caching shape LLM context and performance. ✅ See why larger context windows don’t always mean better model performance.✅ Learn practical techniques to reduce token waste and preserve high-value context. ✅ Optimize local LLM performance by balancing context, memory, latency, and quality. This session is for you if you’re: • A QA, engineering, or technology leader looking to understand how context impacts LLM performance and cost • A QA manager, engineering manager, or architect evaluating practical AI adoption and optimization strategies • An engineering professional working with LLMs and looking to improve context efficiency, reliability, and performance • Someone making decisions around AI infrastructure, local LLMs, or context engineering for real-world use cases About the speaker: Toni Ramchandani is the Vice President of Applied AI Engineering at MSCI Inc., bringing over 17 years of experience in AI, data, cloud, and engineering execution.
