Recursive language model

MIT’s new ‘recursive’ framework lets LLMs process 10 million tokens without context rot

Rather than expanding context windows or summarizing old information, the MIT team reframes long-context reasoning as a systems problem. By letting models treat prompts as something they can inspect with code, recursive language models allow LLMs to reason over millions of tokens without retraining. This offers enterprises a practical path to long-horizon tasks like codebase analysis, legal review, and multi-step reasoning that routinely break today’s models.
