Why this term matters

It affects whether document workflows, long chats, and structured tasks still feel coherent before the model starts forgetting or trimming the useful parts.

Examples

  • A private-docs workflow may look promising until the context window is too small for the documents you actually need.
  • A coding assistant can feel much better once the tool handles enough surrounding context to stay grounded.
