When NOT to use long-context-attention
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- If your use case involves short context lengths where standard attention mechanisms suffice and adding long-context-attention doesn't provide significant benefits.
- When working in environments that do not support Python, as this tool is specifically developed for the Python ecosystem.
