Independent researchers reproduced the results, finding 30-40% memory reduction and ~40% faster prompt processing with minimal quality loss. The media-hyped '6x less memory' claim applies only to specific corner cases, but real-world gains for long-context tasks (large PDFs, codebases) are still significant. Some researchers raised concerns about overlap with prior work, though the paper was accepted for publication. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
