Definition
In the context of AI, ’long’ often describes the capability to process extensive inputs, such as long documents or lengthy video streams. For large language models, this involves managing long-context windows, allowing the model to retain and reason over vast amounts of information simultaneously. This is crucial for tasks requiring global understanding, such as summarizing entire books or analyzing complex codebases, overcoming previous limitations in memory and attention mechanisms.
