#context

Attention scores decay with distance. By position 50K, tokens may have near-zero influence. Positional encodings have practical limits, regardless of window size.

Most queries don't need the full context. Selecting the right 12% often preserves 95% of quality at a fraction of the cost and latency.

OOM at 32K context when your GPU 'should' handle it? Here's what's actually happening in GPU memory during long conversations.

A 128K context window doesn't mean you should use 128K tokens. Context is a budget with diminishing returns and escalating costs.

Double your context window, quadruple your compute. The O(n²) attention cost catches teams off guard when they scale.
