+ Note on **context size** when generating the matrix: in general, a small context size such as 512 is recommended, and community
19
+ tests have shown it usually performs than a larger one such as 4096. However, I would argue this is is highly dependent on the
20
+ source data you are using: with random tokens or short text a small context makes sense; but when using larger texts, a larger
21
+ context matching the size of the texts might be a better choice. Remember that the size is in tokens, which roughly translates
22
+ to number of words, not characters.
