What is the context window in generative AI?	A fixed-size workspace that contains everything the AI is currently paying attention to.
What is the critical failure mode associated with the context window?	Silent truncation, which is a hard "cliff" limitation rather than a gradual degradation.
What is the primary strategy for maximizing context leverage?	Front-loading important material, constraints, or style guides at the beginning of the prompt.
According to the transcript, what does the AI model only respond to?	What is currently contained within the active context window.
What does the "Lost in the middle" probe test?	The AI's ability to detect and utilize critical instructions when they are buried deep within a long document.
What does the term "context is leverage" imply?	That supplying the right context can significantly improve an output from mediocre to genuinely useful.
What product features are designed to push the context window limitation further out?	Memory, compaction, projects/workspaces, and larger windows.
How does the context window limitation differ from other property limitations?	It is a hard-edged "cliff" that works until it suddenly fails, unlike gradual degradation.
