What is Context Window?
A context window is the maximum amount of text an AI model can consider at once — its short-term memory for a given conversation or task.
A larger context window means the model can work with more information — long documents, whole policies or extended conversations — in a single request.
Understanding the context window helps you structure prompts and feed information effectively, a practical skill kenai covers hands-on.
