Model restrictions¶
Models used by Snowflake Cortex have limitations on size as described in the following table. Sizes are stated in tokens. Tokens generally represent about four characters of text, so the number of words corresponding to a limit is less than the number of tokens. Inputs that exceed the limit result in an error.
The maximum size of the output that a model can produce is limited by the following factors:
- The model’s output token limit
- The space available in the context window after the model consumes the input tokens
| Function | Model | Context window (tokens) | Max output (tokens) |
|---|---|---|---|
| COMPLETE | gemini-2.5-flash | 1,048,576 | 64,000 |
gemini-2.5-flash-lite | 1,048,576 | 64,000 | |
claude-4-opus | 200,000 | 8,192 |
