Definition
The maximum number of text units (tokens) that can be processed by an AI model in a single interaction.
Detailed Explanation
Tokens are the basic units of text processing in AI models typically representing words or parts of words. The token limit defines the maximum combined length of input and output text in a single interaction. This limit is determined by the model's architecture and memory constraints affecting its ability to process long documents or conversations.
Use Cases
Document processing systems content generation platforms conversation length management and data processing applications
