Is a larger context window always better?
No. Bigger windows help with big inputs. Cost, latency, retrieval design, and answer quality still decide whether it is a good idea.

Best long-context model APIs for large documents
Compare long-context model APIs by window size, price, source, and when a big context is actually worth paying for.
Для чего нужен этот короткий список?: Long-context models
Long context helps when you stuff contracts, exports, support history, or large files into the prompt. It also makes bills jump. Compare window size and input price together, and decide whether retrieval would be cheaper than stuffing the whole document every time.

FAQ
Long-context models FAQ
When should I use retrieval instead of a huge context window?
When most of the document is irrelevant to each question. Pull the useful chunks, send less context, and keep a smaller model if quality holds.
How do I estimate cost for long-context traffic?
Multiply average input tokens (including stuffed documents) by input price, then add output. Long inputs dominate the bill more often than people expect.
