With , a key question is whether an LLM with a can give that full length to every user at the same time. The example is a service with up to 8 users.

The concern is that appears to share the across users instead of giving each user a separate 128k window. That means a system may need a different setup if every user must keep the full capability during simultaneous use.

Key points

  • The item focuses on an LLM with a length.
  • The example assumes up to 8 users.
  • The concern is whether can provide the full to each user at the same time.
  • For , can increase memory needs and cost when user count grows.
