FAQ

Which AI model has the biggest context window?

Several frontier models now offer a 1M-token context window, enough for very long documents or an entire codebase in a single prompt. thalam lists the exact context window on every model page.

Does a bigger context window cost more?

You pay per token, so a longer prompt costs more only because it contains more tokens, the window size itself has no separate fee on thalam. Retrieval (RAG) is still often cheaper than stuffing everything into context.
