The amount of text an AI can consider when generating a response.
Full Definition
The context window is the maximum amount of text (measured in tokens) that a language model can process and consider when generating a response. Larger context windows allow AI to understand longer documents and conversations. Context windows have grown significantly—from GPT-3's 4K tokens to Claude's 200K tokens. For brands, context window size affects how AI processes and retrieves information about your brand, particularly for complex queries requiring synthesis of multiple pieces of information.
