Large files or documents with excessive content might need to be split into smaller sections for analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"20-%E2%9D%8C-contextual-boundaries\">\u274c Contextual boundaries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>ChatGPT can <strong>retain context only for a limited number of tokens <\/strong>when processing documents.
