Baidu's Unlimited OCR 2 runs a 512-token reference set
and a 128-token local window.

The working set is 640 tokens whether the PDF is 5 pages
or 500.

Per-step decode cost stays near flat as page count grows.

Page pricing hides the real cost: attention growth. #LongContext

ByteDance Seed traced DeepSeek's wobble to "token phase".

Same fact, one phase over:
retrieval accuracy can swing 40 percentage points.

Chunked KV compression is what made long context affordable.

The bill just moved from memory to variance. #LongContext

KV² is a self-refining KV-cache compression method that uses a lightweight proxy scorer to find informative tokens, then only reprocesses that subset for eviction scoring, outperforming baselines as cache budgets tighten.

RAG vs. Long Context 2026: Was die Daten wirklich sagen
RAG ist 1.250x günstiger pro Query – aber Long Context liefert bessere Ergebnisse bei globalem Dokumentverständnis. Die 2026er Daten zeigen: Hybride Architekturen mit intelligentem Routing ersetzen die ideologische Debatte.
