I’ve begun to grok it as “the amount of ram I have to play in before I have to start sharding work”

more literally and correctly, it’s the maximum number of tokens in the input and output, combined, where a token is 4/3 of a word

So we’re shifting from 5K words maximum to 40K (per sibling comment, who pointed out 32K context leaked as well)

A minor correction: a token is 3/4 of a word. ie. it’s slightly smaller than a word, not larger.
