they blow through 80k tokens in 1-2 prompts. At that point, context rot starts to set in. By 128k tokens, the memory degradation begins to offset any improvement in the model's capabilities. They say the models have 1 million token context windows, but they don't tell you that context still degrades past 128k tokens. Law of physics. Elon and Dario can't do shit about it.

"The thing with LLMs is that the longer the context they’re working with, the less accurate they become. A 2023 Stanford study found that with just 20 retrieved documents (~4,000 tokens), an LLM's accuracy can drop from 70-75% down to 55-60%. The information isn't wrong or missing, the model just pays less attention to it."

"Context rot is the measurable degradation in LLM performance that occurs when input contexts grow too long."
