Starting from the basics of RoPE, the post covers Position Interpolation (PI), NTK-aware interpolation, NTK-by-parts interpolation, and dynamic scaling. It culminates in YaRN (Yet another RoPE extensioN method), which combines NTK-by-parts interpolation with attention temperature scaling to achieve better perplexity on extended context windows. Practical guidance is provided for applying YaRN to models like LLaMA 2 and Mistral-7B, including a 128k context fine-tuned variant. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
