AI agent — An AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.
context window — The maximum amount of text a model can consider at once — its working memory for the current conversation or task.
system prompt — The standing instructions a model receives before any user input — defining its role, rules, tools, and tone for the whole conversation.
prompt caching — Reusing the model's processed form of a repeated prompt prefix so subsequent calls skip re-reading it, cutting cost and latency substantially.
