How AI Handles 10 Million Tokens Using Only 150 Agents

In this brief interview excerpt, Speaker A asks how the system can manage up to 150 agents per task when faced with extremely large contexts, potentially exceeding 10 million tokens. Speaker B explains that a single model cannot hold such massive context (over 1 million tokens). Instead, the approach uses a divide‑and‑conquer strategy: the overall problem is broken into smaller subtasks, each handled by a separate search/agent that only needs a much shorter, task‑specific input. The example given is locating a 1980 calculus textbook, which requires only a concise query rather than the full multi‑million‑token dataset. This illustrates how the architecture leverages many lightweight agents to solve problems that would otherwise exceed a single model’s context window.
