Context Window

The context window is the maximum amount of text or tokens a language model can consider at once when generating a response. It includes system prompts, prior conversation, and current input. For designers and prompt engineers, understanding the context window is critical: exceeding it truncates information, while efficient use enables long-running conversations, complex workflows, and consistent Ai Messages that stay on-topic. The context window is the maximum amount of text or tokens a language model can consider at once when generating a response. It includes system instructions, conversation history, and the current prompt. For prompt engineers and product teams, understanding context window limits is crucial to avoid truncation, structure multi-step workflows, and ensure Ai Messages remain coherent over long interactions.
