Refiant has launched Protea, a model with a 10-million-token context window that uses swarm-style optimization and context management to process very large datasets in one pass. The company says the approach could improve inference efficiency, reduce hallucinations, and help replace RAG for enterprise codebases and long-form clinical or email archives.
