Architectural Prioritization for a Long-Context LLM
A development team is attempting to use a standard Transformer-based LLM for real-time analysis of continuous data streams, where the input sequence can grow to hundreds of thousands of tokens. They encounter two main problems: the time it takes to process each new token increases dramatically as the sequence gets longer, and the system frequently runs out of memory. Which statement correctly analyzes the architectural sources of these two distinct problems?

Adapting Pre-trained LLMs for Long Sequences
A research team at a small company has access to a powerful, general-purpose pre-trained language model. Their goal is to quickly develop a specialized application that can process and understand entire legal documents, which are significantly longer than the model's original training data. The team has limited time and computational resources for large-scale model training. Given these constraints, which of the following approaches represents the most practical and efficient research direction for them to pursue?
