This repository curates papers and blogs on long-context language modeling, covering surveys; efficient attention; KV-cache optimization; recurrent transformers and state-space models; position encoding & length extrapolation; long-context training; long-term memory; retrieval-augmented generation; in-context learning; context and model compression; long reasoning (long CoT); long video & image; long-horizon agents; long-text generation; inference acceleration; benchmarks & evaluation; and technical reports.

🔥 Must-read papers for LLM-based Long Context Modeling.

🔥⚡🔥 Thanks for all the great contributors on GitHub!

🚀🤝🚀 I have the privilege of joining [LCLM-Horizon] and collaborating with them on providing a very complete and comprehensive scholarly survey (A Comprehensive Survey on Long Context Language Modeling) and repository (A-Comprehensive-Survey-For-Long-Context-Language-Modeling) dedicated to Long Context Language Modeling. I look forward to collaborating with them to advance research and deepen understanding in this area!
