It's literally called in-context learning. The fact that it doesn't go into weights and is retained only for a session doesn't mean no learning occurs.

Also agentic systems may choose or be instructed to retain some information between sessions in files and/or databases which is also a form of learning.

There are experiments with retaining session information in weights in some form of lora but there's no consensus if it's even desirable. There's a value in being able to start from a clean slate.
