Humble approach to long context lengths with minimal finetuning
By
–
This sounds a bit more humble than the recent 1M or 1B context lengths claims. But this requires only minimal (1000 steps) finetuning. And it allows long document summarization using LLaMA 7B and 65B models, for example. Link to the paper here: https://

Position Interpolation Extends RoPE Context Windows to 32K Tokens
By
–
Rotary positional embeddings (aka RoPE) have been a recent cornerstone of modern LLM implementations since it supports flexible sequence lengths. In this paper, researchers propose Position Interpolation to increase RoPE-based context window sizes to 32,768 tokens 2/3

Zero-Sum Performance Trade-offs in Attention Mechanisms
By
–
Yeah but my guess is it’s a zero sum issue. Like if you fixing the performance in the middle, you will probably have to sacrifice performance elsewhere. Otherwise if you pay attention to everything equally, you’ll lose the advantage of attention in a way.

Hyena Convolutional LLMs: Efficient Alternative to Transformers
By
–
Hyena convolutional LLMs look interesting. Not necessarily better but matches the performance more or less. It’s different but more efficient. We will see if this will get more interest vs continuing the transformer route.
