Can we assume that model performance at 90% of the 256k limit != 90% of 1M token limit?

Is this the exact same model just with less VRAM allocated for context window?

I generally disagree with the claim that distilling a model is equivalent to training on freely available internet content – mostly due to investment required to turn it into a model – but piracy is another story. Pretty inexcusable.

Similar to balls to the walls (or similar). Coming from the analog aviation controls I believe.

Great historical science book on the steam engine here: https://www.amazon.com/Most-Powerful-Idea-World-Invention/dp...

One of my favorites. Good read.
