Extending LLM Context via Associative Recurrent Memory
Extending the context length of large language models (LLMs) is critical for many real-world applications, yet standard transformers remain constrained by quadratic compute and linear memory scaling. In this work, we investigate the Associative Recurrent Memory Transformer (ARMT) as a practical approach for enabling long-context processing in LLMs, constant memory scaling, and better efficiency. We make three main contributions. First, we construct two domain-specific long-context datasets designed to evaluate realistic workloads, focusing on narrow-domain fine-tuning scenarios. Second, we pro
