• Abstract: Enterprise workloads are dominated by deterministic, structured, and knowledge-dependent tasks operating under strict cost, latency, and reliability constraints. While these are often addressed through large language model (LLM) deployment or distillation into smaller models, we argue this is inefficient, unreliable, and misaligned with enterprise task structures. Instead, AI systems should treat language models as interfaces rather than monolithic engines, externalizing knowledge and computation into dedicated components for greater reliability, scalability, and transparency. Our theoretical evidences show that finite-capacity models cannot fully capture the breadth of knowledge required for enterprise tasks, creating inherent limits to efficiency and interpretability. Building on this, we take the position that language models should primarily be used for structured extraction in deterministic enterprise workflows, while computation and storage are delegated to knowledge bases and symbolic procedures. We formally demonstrate that such modular architectures are more reliable and maintainable than monolithic frameworks, offering a sustainable foundation for enterprise tasks.

  Long-context language models (LCLMs) have the potential to revolutionize our approach to tasks traditionally reliant on external tools like retrieval systems or databases. We introduce LOFT, a benchmark of real-world tasks requiring context up to millions of tokens designed to evaluate LCLMs' performance on in-context retrieval and reasoning. Our findings reveal LCLMs' surprising ability to rival state-of-the-art retrieval and RAG systems, despite never having been explicitly trained for these tasks.
