Today on sentdex, we delve into the world of large language models and their struggle with limited context lengths. These models, like the popular GPT series, are hitting a wall with a maximum of around 2048 tokens, restricting their ability to handle complex tasks beyond simple prompts. Even with some models offering larger contexts, issues with GPU memory, processing time, and model quality persist, leaving users yearning for more.
Enter Microsoft's longnet, a potential game-changer in the realm of large language models. With claims of accommodating up to a billion tokens, longnet proposes dilated attention to tackle the challenges of memory and processing speed. While it shows promise in addressing some of the existing issues, questions linger regarding its comparison to traditional Transformers and the quality of dilated attention over extensive token counts.
The quest for a breakthrough in attention mechanisms becomes paramount as the demand for larger context windows in Transformer-based models intensifies. Despite the allure of billion-token capacities, concerns loom over the practicality and effectiveness of such vast contexts. The future of large language models hinges on the ability to revolutionize attention mechanisms to unlock the full potential of expansive context windows.
