Extended context windows restructuring RAG pipeline architecture
Extended context windows in Claude and GPT-4o are driving adoption of full-document analysis, replacing traditional chunk-and-embed RAG patterns for document-processing under 200k tokens.
Operational Insight
For documents within context limits, direct full-document analysis with a structured extraction prompt is simpler and more accurate than maintaining a chunking + embedding pipeline.
