Plan, divide, and conquer: How weak models excel at long context tasks

Jul 11, 2026

Together AI introduces a 'Divide & Conquer' framework that breaks long documents into parallel chunks processed by a planner, workers, and manager. This method enables smaller models like Llama-3-70B and Qwen-72B to outperform GPT-4o single-shot on long context tasks.

Why it matters: This approach shows that smaller models can surpass larger ones on long context tasks through orchestration, potentially reducing reliance on massive models.
