# Context Window

The amount of information an AI model can consider at once when generating a response.

A context window is the limit on how much text an AI model can look at in a single response, including the conversation so far and any documents it was given. A larger context window lets an agent consider more information at once, which matters when it needs to reference a long document or a long conversation history.
