Definition
The maximum amount of text an AI model can process and consider at once when generating responses.
Detailed Explanation
The context window represents the total number of tokens (words or word pieces) that a language model can process in a single interaction. It determines how much previous conversation or input text the model can reference when generating responses. The size of the context window affects the model's ability to maintain coherence and reference earlier information in long conversations or documents.
