Question

What is context in LLMs, according to Gaurav Sen's AI interview #2?

Answered from AI Interview #2 - Context in LLMs with @aloo_explains · Gaurav Sen · 2026-07-26

In Gaurav Sen's mock AI interview #2, candidate Tanishq defines context as everything the model considers when making its next decision. For an agent, that starts as the system prompt, the tool descriptions and the user's query, and grows with each tool response. In a Japan trip example, the hotel tool's output and then the flight tool's output are both added before the model picks its next step.
