How far back was it able to remember in your tests?

~8000 tokens. You can test yourself with a query of the form:

> "Please remember the word Dog. I will ask you for it later."

> "Please say the letter A 500 times."

> "Please say the letter A 500 times."

> "Please say the letter A 500 times."

...

> "Please say the letter A 500 times."

> "Please say the letter A 500 times."

> "What was the word I asked you to remember?"

It appears both user input and AI generated output equally uses the token window. It's hard to measure precisely because the tokenizer they use isn't published, but I make the assumption that ~1 word = 1 token.
