Context Window Length for the mixtral-8x7b-instruct-v01-q model

I believe the Context Window Length for the mixtral-8x7b-instruct-v01-q model was originally 32,768, but is now limited to 4096. https://dataplatform.cloud.ibm.com/docs/ content/wsj/analyze-data/fm-models.html?context=wx&pos=2&locale=en#mixtral-8x7b-instruct-v01-q
I inquired with CASE (CS3838878) and was told that this is an intentional limitation due to latency considerations.

I am not using mixtral-8x7b-instruct-v01-q in my project and am not directly affected by this at this time, but I believe that the mixtral-8x7b-instruct-v01-q model could be made more usable by having the Context Window Length extended. 
Please consider extending the Context Window Length.
