The 1M-Token Filing Cabinet: Whole-Document AI Just Got Cheap Enough to Use
Description and use
<h2> The question you stopped asking </h2> <p>Somewhere in the last two years, you probably asked an AI tool some version of "can you read all of this?" — a folder of invoices, a year of support tickets, every contract you've signed — and got the practical answer: no. Not because the model couldn't technically handle it. Because it cost too much, ran slow, or silently forgot half of it along the way.</p> <p>That answer is expiring. Two things changed this month:</p> <ol> <li><p><strong>One-million-token context windows went mainstream.</strong> Google's Gemini 4 Argon ships a unified 1M-token
