The Future: Will Context Windows Grow Forever? (Ring Attention, SSMs, Retrieval-Augmented Everything)

Three competing paradigms: grow context via hardware, replace attention with O(n) alternatives like Mamba, or build external memory systems. Which will win?

Sparse Attention Architectures: Breaking O(n²) with O(n√n), O(n·log n), and O(n)

Multiple research approaches attack the quadratic bottleneck: Longformer, Reformer, Linformer, and linear attention. Here's the math behind each one.
