Chapter 3, is "architecture" referring to CPU or OS?

When reading that section some weeks ago, I marked it as it was not quite clear:
Additionally, the isize and usize types depend on the architecture of the computer your program is running on, which is denoted in the table as “arch”: 64 bits if you’re on a 64-bit architecture and 32 bits if you’re on a 32-bit architecture.
As I am still unsure, I just asked GPT-4:
Is here, and generally, "architecture" referring to the hardware (CPU) or to the operating system? As we can run a 32-bit Windows on a 64-bit CPU.
See, and please clarify in the book:
