What Is a Context Window? — IBM Think

Context windows define the amount of text, measured in tokens, that a large language model can process or "remember" at any one time, functioning as the model's working memory. The article explains how tokenization works, the tradeoffs of increasing context length—such as improved accuracy versus higher computational costs—and how different languages and tokenizers affect token efficiency.
