Tokens, Embeddings, and Context Windows
Tokens, embeddings, and context windows are the hidden building blocks behind modern AI applications. Developers often use these terms without fully understanding their importance. This article explains how text becomes tokens, how embeddings convert meaning into vectors, and why context windows directly impact AI memory and response quality. Real-world examples from RAG systems, semantic search, and AI assistants make these concepts practical and easy to grasp.
