Unless they are using a linear architecture, the compute cost still scales O(n²) for n tokens, and nemory cost scales O(n).

- TZubiri 2mo ago>the compute cost still scales O(n²) for n tokens, That is never the cost, it's a common misconception. Cost scales linearly per tokens. Unless you are sending one token at a time and avoiding using the same machine or cache. Just look at api charges, they are charged by token, not by token squared.
