AI models perform worse as they use more of their context window, with quality starting to drop from the very first token; once you reach approximately 40% of your context window, you should compact the conversation or start a new session, as the advertised context window represents the maximum capacity rather than the optimal usage level.

Deep Dive
Your Context Window Is Smaller Than AdvertisedAdded:
All the AI companies like to brag about their 1 million token context windows.
But what they don't want you to know is that you should pretty much never be using that full context window. AI performs worse the more of its context you're using. From the very first token, quality starts dropping. For a while, this trade-off is worth it. But once you hit around 40% of your context window, you're better off compacting or starting a new session. The advertised context window is the ceiling, not the goal.
