What are the context limits of AI chatbots like ChatGPT?

AI chatbots like ChatGPT have context limits that determine how much information they can remember from previous interactions. Typically, this is around 4096 tokens, which includes both user input and assistant responses.

What happens if the conversation exceeds this limit?

If the conversation exceeds the context limit, the oldest messages are truncated or forgotten to make room for new ones. This means the AI may lose track of earlier parts of the conversation.

Can I ask the chatbot to remember specific information for future chats?

No, ChatGPT does not have memory in the traditional sense. Each session is stateless, meaning it doesn't retain information between interactions.

Are there any ways to improve the context handling?

While you can't change the inherent limits, you can provide concise and relevant information to help the AI understand the context better within the available tokens.
