Any chance this could improve coding LLMs like Co-pilot? Or would that sort of thing be limited to source code feeds (not that Github has a shortage).

The next big step for coding LLMs will be context window increases, leaked docs have OpenAI pricing for up to 16K I believe, 4x the current maximum. Now you're talking "write a class" instead of this line and maybe sometimes a method

It can already reliably write a todo web browser application.

With 16k and some other techniques, I’m guessing it could write a custom CMS database backed web application.

Not 16k, 32k. 8x the current window.

Nice

What is 16k referring to here

I’ve begun to grok it as “the amount of ram I have to play in before I have to start sharding work”

more literally and correctly, it’s the maximum number of tokens in the input and output, combined, where a token is 4/3 of a word

So we’re shifting from 5K words maximum to 40K (per sibling comment, who pointed out 32K context leaked as well)

A minor correction: a token is 3/4 of a word. ie. it’s slightly smaller than a word, not larger.
