  ## Maximum Tokens

  The
  OpenAI
  API
  has
  different
  maximum
  token
  limits
  depending
  on
  the
  model
  being
  used.For
  instance, GPT-3 has a limit of 4,096 tokens, while GPT-4 can support larger inputs, with some versions allowing up to 8,192 tokens, and extended versions reaching up to 32,768 tokens. Tokens include both the input text and the generated output, so longer inputs mean less space for responses. Managing token limits is crucial to ensure the model can handle the entire input and still generate a complete response, especially for tasks involving lengthy documents or multi-turn conversations.
