Linformer: Faster AI That Reads Long Texts Without Big Cost

Meet Linformer, a new way for AI to read long text faster and cheaper.
Big language models usually slow down when text gets long because they check many pairings inside the text.
Linformer instead learns a smaller map of those links, so it doesn't need to look at every pair.
The result is a model that keeps strong results while using much less memory and much less compute.
That means you can run smarter apps on smaller machines, not only on giant servers.
It show similar accuracy to older models but is quicker and cheaper to use, making tools that handle long documents more practical for everyday use.
For people this could mean better summaries, faster searches, and smarter chat that works with long notes or books.
The idea is simple but powerful: keep what matters, drop the rest.
Youll see more AI tools that work with big files and run on modest gear, bringing big AI power to more people with less fuss and cost.
Speed and access get better.
