I see, active listening + relating it to my knowledge on my end, lmk if I compressed too much:

you're curious if there's noticably worse performance if the Q is at the end of content rather than before

No, there's a good paper on this somewhere with the Claude 100K, tldr it's sort of bow-shaped, beginning and end had equally high rates but middle would suffer

No, what I am specifically asking about is these sliding window attention techniques. As far as I understand it Claude 100K actually uses a 100k context window, and not a sliding window.
