What is RoPE (Rotary Position Embedding)?
Source: local-llm.net/glossary
A position encoding method used in modern Transformer models (including Llama, Mistral, and Qwen) that encodes token position information using rotation matrices applied to query and key vectors. RoPE enables efficient handling of sequences and supports context length extension through techniques like NTK-aware scaling.
