Recursive Language Models (RLMs) - MIT's approach to extending effective context windows by 100x
This paper from MIT researchers (Alex Zhang, Tim Kraska, Omar Khattab) presents a surprisingly practical solution to context rot in LLMs. Instead of cramming everything into one massive context window, RLMs treat the prompt as an external variable in a Python REPL and let the model recursively call itself over smaller chunks.
The results are significant: handling 10M+ tokens effectively, outperforming base models by double-digit percentages on complex tasks, and doing it at comparable (sometimes cheaper) cost per query.
What makes this particularly interesting is that you can implement this today with existing models and infrastructure. No fine-tuning required.
