Not All Models Handle Length Equally

If you're working with long documents, the model's context window is the most important factor. A model that can only process 8K tokens will miss 90% of a 50-page document.

Context Window Comparison

| Model | Context Window | Approximate Pages | |-------|---------------|-------------------| | Claude 3.5 | 200K tokens | ~150 pages | | Gemini 1.5 Pro | 1M+ tokens | ~750 pages | | GPT-4o | 128K tokens | ~96 pages | | Llama 3.1 | 128K tokens | ~96 pages |

Best for Long Document Analysis: Claude

Claude's 200K token context window is the sweet spot for most document work. It can hold entire contracts, research papers, or business reports while maintaining strong analytical quality. Its careful, detailed responses are well-suited for:

• Contract review and clause identification
• Research paper summarization
• Manuscript feedback
• Policy document comparison

Best for Very Long Documents: Gemini

If your document exceeds 200 pages or you need to analyze multiple documents simultaneously, Gemini's 1M+ token window is unmatched. Use it for:

• Book-length analysis
• Entire codebase review
• Multi-document comparison
• Large dataset interpretation

Practical Tips

Upload files directly

On Octofy, upload your document as a file rather than pasting text. This preserves formatting and ensures the full content is included.

Be specific about what you want

"Summarize this document" gives a generic overview. "Identify the 5 most significant liability clauses in this contract" gives a targeted, useful response.

Break complex analysis into steps

For very detailed analysis, work through the document section by section rather than asking for everything at once.

Ask follow-up questions

After the initial analysis, drill into specific sections: "Explain Section 4.3 in detail" or "Compare the indemnification clause with standard market terms."

How Octofy Helps

When you upload a long document and have automatic model selection enabled, Octofy considers the document length when choosing a model. Long documents are automatically routed to models with sufficient context windows to handle them properly.
