this is a great point.
do you know of any benchmarks doing this today?
given the acute need to evaluate models on contextual factuality, we're exploring how to create a benchmark for this purpose but prefer existing benchmarks if possible.
openai's truthfulqa[0] is close but does not focus on contextual factuality and targets a much harder problem of absolute truth.
if none exist, and people are interested in contributing, please reach out.

Here's a list of tools for scaling up transformer context that have github repos:
* FlashAttention: In my experience, the current best solution for n² attention, but it's very hard to scale it beyond the low tens of thousands of tokens. Code: https://github.com/HazyResearch/flash-attention
* Heinsen Routing: In my experience, the current best solution for n×m attention. I've used it to pull up more than a million tokens as context. It's not a substitute for n² attention. Code: https://github.com/glassroom/heinsen_routing
* RWKV: A sort-of-recurrent model which claims to have performance comparable to n² attention in transformers. In my limited experience, it doesn't. Others agree: https://twitter.com/arankomatsuzaki/status/16390003799784038... . Code: https://github.com/BlinkDL/RWKV-LM
* RMT (this method): I'm skeptical that the recurrent connections will work as well as n² attention in practice, but I'm going to give it a try. Code: https://github.com/booydar/t5-experiments/tree/scaling-repor...
In addition, there's a group at Stanford working on state-space models that looks promising to me. The idea is to approximate n² attention dynamically using only O(n log n) compute. There's no code available, but here's a blog post about it: https://hazyresearch.stanford.edu/blog/2023-03-27-long-learn...
If anyone here has other suggestions for working with long sequences (hundreds of thousands to millions of tokens), I'd love to learn about them.

RWKV-LM
RWKV is an RNN with transformer-level LLM performance. It can be directly trained like a GPT (parallelizable). So it's combining the best of RNN and transformer - great performance, fast inference, saves VRAM, fast training, "infinite" ctx_len, and free sentence embedding.
