Defined Term

Context Window

The maximum amount of text (tokens) a model can consider at once when making a decision.

The context window is the maximum number of tokens a language model can hold in working memory at one time when reasoning. In agentic gaming, the context window determines how much game history, state, and playbook the agent can consider on each tick. Larger windows allow richer situational awareness but cost more and can slow decision-making.
