Together AI presents research showing that smaller models using a strategic Divide & Conquer framework can match or beat GPT-4o single-shot on long context tasks, with benefits of lower cost, faster processing, and easier tuning.
Plan, divide, and conquer: How weak models excel at long context tasks
Research paper

Our research, "When Does Divide and Conquer Work for Long Context LLM?" (ICLR 2026), introduces a framework to study this. We found that smaller models using a strategic "Divide & Conquer" design can match or beat GPT-4o single-shot on long context tasks.
