# Context window

A context window is the amount of information a language model can consider at one time when producing a response.

## Why it matters

A larger context window can help with long documents and complex tasks, but it does not guarantee that every detail receives equal attention. Good workflows still retrieve, structure, and verify the most relevant information.

## Example

Before summarizing a long customer thread, a system selects the key messages, account notes, and recent decisions instead of sending every historical message.
