Models with Large Context Window
Recently Gradient AI announced that they released the Llama 3 models with a 1M context window for both 8B and 70B sizes. And now they just dropped a 4M context window for the 8B size.
what do you think about this and models with Large Context Window?

These work properly for a document that fits in the context window but not for a document which is larger. You can cut the document into smaller pieces but it just isn’t the same.
I would like to see longer context models like that and could accept some inference cost for it.
I think the summarization-type use cases will benefit from the context window but the computational complexity of a problem posed can grow explosively as a function of problem size: so x10 context window might not really mean it can do a x10 sized problem consistently.
