What is a context window?

In short

A context window is the maximum amount of text, measured in tokens, that a language model can consider at one time, including both your input and its response. Anything beyond the limit is not seen by the model. A larger window lets the model work with longer documents or conversations at once, which matters when analysing lengthy contracts or keeping track of a long chat.
