What does a context window act like for a language model?
Show answer & explanation
Answer: Its working memory for the current task
Its working memory for the current task ✓ — Correct! The context window is the text the model can actively reference in the current request or conversation.
Its permanent training archive — Wrong. Training data shaped the model earlier, but the context window is not the same thing as its training archive.
Its internet connection — Wrong. A context window is about how much relevant text fits into the model's current reasoning space, not whether it can browse online.
