Chat History Reduction

[BenConstable9]

What feature would you like to be added?

I would like the ability for agents to only read chat history from select other agents or the last n messages.

Certain agents might only need the history from other select agents (in more of a process flow)

Certain agents might only need access to the last N messages.

Why is this needed?

Currently, long running group chats can consume a significant number of tokens.

This would be a nice feature. It would help to have a mock of a concrete use case.

This is related to #4438. I believe we can meet this requirement with a simple implementation of memory.

@BenConstable9 meanwhile at the Core API, you can take a look at ModelContext module https://microsoft.github.io/autogen/dev/reference/python/autogen_core.model_context.html for some basic functionalities.
