Context window
A context window is the amount of input and generated content a model can handle within a particular interaction, measured in tokens.
Also known as:
In a sales team
A long transcript, several playbooks and the conversation history all compete for space when a seller requests deal guidance.
Does a larger context window guarantee better answers?
A larger window doesn’t guarantee that every detail will be used accurately. Important evidence can still be missed in a long or contradictory input.
What to check in practice
Test the actual task with realistic document lengths and verify which evidence survives summarisation.
