# Message threads enable more efficient long conversations on the Messages API

> Long conversations can now use message threads to send smaller requests and reduce time to first token. The server maintains conversation state, so each new request only includes recent messages rather than full history. Threads expire 5 minutes after last use and are cleaned up within 1 hour.
