Jamil: Writing in the Margins avoids re-prefilling tokens, halving compute cost
“Again, to the language model to generate the answer, and it would cost you another million, because the model has to reprocess this prefilling again of one million tokens, so it would cost you two million tokens, but with writing in the margins, it would cost …”

Jamil: Ablations Show Supplying Both Context and Margins Outperforms Either Alone
“And we also prove in the ablation studies that actually it's always convenient to send the context plus the margins, never just the margins. So you can see here, this ablation contest compression. So if you only send the margins or only the context, it's alway…”
