you can get insane, and I mean insane performance on text-based documents by using Latex in gpt-4o. For some reason this tricks it into thinking its working on code, and its effective context window (rather limited for text) gets so huge I haven't found the limit yet.

a lot of you would agree more with my "the universe is fundamentally made of stories" ontology if I said "information" instead of stories - but you never have information in a vacuum. it always has context and motion - another name for a vector of information is a Story.

initial hypothesis is that oai hardcoded some context nonsense to get people who complain about it being lazy into code blocks - if you have a task which needs a lot of context, putting it into latex first seems to get you access to more breathing room.
