At a conference at MIT, talking with a range of CEOs, technical leads in firms, etc. These are mostly people ahead of the curve in experimenting with AI in their organization. Every one of the ones applying it was saying it had a big impact on performance in their organization.
Fascinating thread in two ways. The first is the paper and findings itself, explaining how LLMs actually deal with context windows. The second is the fact that this is a “discovery:” LLMs have unexpectedly developed retrieval heads, they were not explicitly coded for by creators
From Claude100K to Gemini10M, we are in the era of long context language models. Why and how a language model can utilize information at any input locations within long context? We discover retrieval heads, a special type of attention head responsible for long-context factuality
