Understanding AI Terminology

The maximum amount of text an AI model can process in a single conversation or request.

What It Means

The context window (or context length) is the maximum number of tokens an AI model can consider at once, including both your input and the model's output. A larger context window allows the model to reference more information, maintain longer conversations, and work with larger documents. Context windows range from 4K tokens to over 1 million tokens depending on the model.

Examples

  • GPT-4 Turbo has a 128K token context window
  • Gemini 1.5 Pro supports over 1 million tokens
  • Older models may have 4K or 8K limits

How This Applies to ARKA-AI

ARKAbrain considers context window requirements when routing requests, automatically selecting models that can handle your input length.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Context Window

The model will either truncate your input (cutting off older content) or return an error. ARKA-AI helps manage this by routing to appropriate models.
Not necessarily. While larger context windows allow processing more text, models may have varying accuracy with very long contexts. For most tasks, moderate context windows are sufficient.
