I'm looking for insights and advice on extending the context window of the LLMs (most specifically Mistral).

Whether you're a researcher, developer, or enthusiast in the field, I'd love to hear about your experiences and recommendations. Are there any specific techniques, methodologies, or tools you've found effective in extending the context window for LLMs?

Additionally, if you've encountered challenges in this area, how did you overcome them? Any resources, papers, or community discussions you can point me to would be greatly appreciated.

This paper might be useful. They use window attention with attention sinks to deal with longer texts.
