Contextual foundations
The contextual foundations set the stage for our journey as we revisit the importance of context in the realm of large language models (LLMs). In this brief section, we’ll understand why maintaining a relevant and dynamic context is paramount for meaningful interactions, especially in applications where the content is ever-evolving. This foundational knowledge will provide the basis for the innovations we’ll explore in the subsequent sections.
