What is a model's "context window"?
- AThe maximum amount of text — measured in tokens — it can consider at once
- BThe maximum number of users — it can serve at the same moment in parallel
- CThe maximum size of a reply — the longest answer it is allowed to produce
- DThe maximum file it can open — the largest document it can store on a disk
Why this is the answer
The context window is how much text (in tokens) a model can attend to at once. It's not about users, reply size alone, or disk — it's the total working span for one request.
