RoPE

Rotary Position Embedding.

Definition

Rotary Position Embedding. A positional encoding method that encodes position information by rotating the embedding vectors. Used in LLaMA, Mistral, and many modern LLMs. Handles long sequences well and enables techniques like YaRN that extend the effective context window beyond what the model was trained on.
