Why is a 1M-token context window a big deal?
Show answer & explanation
Answer: It lets models keep much larger documents or workflows in view at once
It lets models keep much larger documents or workflows in view at once ✓ — Correct! Bigger windows make it easier to work across huge codebases, long documents, or many-step agent traces without dropping as much context.
It makes models automatically factual — Wrong. A larger window can help access more relevant material, but it does not guarantee factual correctness.
It removes the need for prompt design — Wrong. Prompt quality and context selection still matter, especially because long contexts can become noisy.
