Context Window

Also known as: context length, token window.

Last updated: May 24, 2026

What is Context Window?

Definition

A context window is the maximum amount of text (measured in tokens) that an LLM can consider in a single request — both the prompt the user sends and the answer the model generates. As of 2026, leading context windows range from ~400k tokens (GPT-5.2) to 1M (Claude Sonnet 4.5) to 2M+ (Gemini 3 Pro).

In plain English

Tokens are roughly 3-4 characters or 0.75 of an English word. A 1M-token context window holds approximately 750,000 words — about 1,500 pages of text. The window has to fit your prompt + the model's response, so the practical input limit is slightly smaller than the headline number. Longer windows enable use cases that were previously impossible: feeding entire codebases, books, or contracts to the model in one prompt.

Example

An analyst feeds a 280-page contract to Gemini 3 Pro (2M context). The model holds the entire document and answers questions like 'which clauses conflict with our standard MSA template?' without any document chunking. The same prompt would have to be split across multiple calls on GPT-5.2's ~400k window.
