Definition
The process of dividing large texts or documents into smaller, manageable segments (‘chunks’) to fit within the limited context window of most large language models for processing and retrieval.
Why it matters (in Poovi’s context)
The memex system explicitly avoids chunking due to the large context window of Gemini 2.5 Pro, addressing a common pain point in AI applications that can lead to fragmented understanding and retrieval hallucination.
