How deeply does Spring AI in Action cover context window?

Defines token-based capacity and selection implications, but does not explain tokenization mechanics or implementation details.

Context window

As explained in Spring AI in Action

A context window is the maximum amount of tokenized input and output that a language model can handle in one interaction.

A context window is the maximum number of tokens a model can accept across a prompt and its response. Models range from a few thousand tokens to millions per interaction. section 1.2

Use context-window size when choosing a model:

Check that prompts remain within the model’s limit as conversational history and document context grow. section 1.2
Treat the limit as less important for simple questions and more important for context-heavy applications. section 1.2
Reassess the choice as model prices, context windows, and capabilities change. section 1.2
