Muse Glimmer 30B model context extended to 1M tokens with perfect retrieval

A user has successfully extended the context window of the Muse Glimmer 30B model to 1 million tokens, significantly surpassing its trained 131K context length. This was achieved using the YaRN context extension method and verified through a needle-in-haystack test, which confirmed perfect retrieval even at 832K tokens. The model's unique architecture, featuring positional encoding only on sliding window layers and no positional encoding on global layers, is theorized to be key to its ability to handle such extended contexts without performance degradation.
