1 Million Context to enable professional workloads title matches the content - anything below 1m is not usable pretty much . it is just a hassle and claude wins even if less capable. So why not 1m or more? Kind regards

The part that irritates me the most about this is that when these models come out, their context limit is marketed like it’s real.

What kind of workloads do you guys have? whether the context is 100k or 1M or 10M is illusory as @htperkins points out - at the end of the day it’s just the usable ‘internal’ ‘search’ space available to the model. At the end of the day it’s not that different from embedding search - or RAG as the …

C# coding in a small to mid sized repository just done by myself - not even multi user (like you would have in a business environment). 256K is sometimes filled on loading up a new task and go back an forth 2-3 times with the agent. A detailed prompt, pointing to specific files and exact results n…

I would also add it’s important to look at a problem piece by piece. It’s not “enter the prompt and walk away” yet.

You are right and still missing the point - Claude can provide that and simply put → it is like 80% less time spent dealing with the context window. You are clearly not working with proper code bases if you argue for the “limited” context window and not the “full” one. I don’t get it - in what dimen…

my comment was merely aimed at “workaround”. Your request stands and is reasonable - who doesn’t want longer context? I still use 4.1 for a lot of work for that reason. I’d be very surprised if OpenAI wasn’t pouring research and investment into longer context. However, there’s a lot you can do w…

“workaround” is not true. It is factually broken in some use cases. Not usable without any chance of fixing the task. GPT fails since the 256K context window is crippling the agent into a disaster. It is like Windows with 8GB of SYSTEM RAM these days → Open a Browser and Discord + Launch a game → So…

I do not find it a dealbreaker and I can get on with my work, but sure, longer context would be great!

great ^^ - we are half way there: “would be great!” is the real thing and matching your competitor at the same price point is what is needed. The current state is (when you compare your choices) → you buy the Pro Plan of Claude since OPUS does a similar JOB with 1M context and GPT SOL (might be bett…

This has just been shared tonight by Tibo on Twitter Here is how to enable a 1M-token context window in Codex for GPT-5.6 Sol. Codex is tuned to use a context limit that balances performance and cost, but a larger context window is a common request, so here is how to configure it. A larger conte…
