A proposal suggests implementing a temporary, legally enforced maximum of 5 million tokens for AI context windows. This measure aims to slow AI capability growth and ensure that AIs generate external memory artifacts, such as files or chat logs, which can be monitored for alignment issues. The author argues that context window length is a primary limitation for frontier LLMs and that limiting it would not significantly impede current development, as context windows have largely plateaued at 1 million tokens for the past two years.

IMPACT Could influence future AI development policies and safety research by proposing a concrete mechanism for control.
