Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Recognize context window limits
The nominal context window is 100 tokens, but effective limits can be smaller.Step 2: Consider tokenization and system constraints
Tokenization or system overhead can reduce usable tokens to less than 100.Final Answer:
The model's effective context window is smaller due to internal tokenization or system limits -> Option DQuick Check:
Effective context window can be less than nominal [OK]
Quick Trick: Effective context window can be less than nominal [OK]
Common Mistakes:
- Assuming model always processes full context window
- Believing input is shortened automatically without user action
