2 docs tagged with "token limits"

When interacting with AI models like OpenAI's GPT through APIs, understanding how tokens work is essential for optimizing performance, controlling costs, and ensuring reliable responses—especially when generating code.

When working with large language model (LLM) APIs such as OpenAI’s gpt-4, each API call is subject to a maximum token limit (e.g., 8192 or 128k tokens). As conversations grow longer, especially when maintaining history for context, you may quickly approach or exceed these limits.
