Guo: Expanding context windows to 1M tokens will not naively solve LLM context challenges
“The idea that like a hundred K or even a million tokens is going to solve all our problems. And like, you just ask your questions and dump in all context naively is ridiculous to me. I think it's a really important area of product and research work.”

Gil: LLM context window size limitations will be solved in two years
“I think in two years it'll be reasonably solved in terms of the size of context windows. It'll be usable. Like, I'd be happy to take that bet, but we'll see. Like, I think the context windows are going to get very large.”
