OpenAI says GPT-6.1 Sol's default context window rises from 272k to 500k in Codex and ChatGPT Work, at no extra charge. The company expects two to three times fewer compactions on long-running tasks and faster end-to-end completion. Users can still override the setting, with a maximum of 1M.

Day 7/ We have increased default context length for GPT-6.1 Sol to 500k when used through Codex & Work, up from 272k or an ~ 80% increase. We will go higher in the future, but it helps reduce occurrence of compactions and with tasks that require keeping a lot of context and nuance over periods of time. It was carefully tested and is the new sweet spot for most of our users. You can still override it if you want to be higher our lower, with maximum context length of GPT-6.1 Sol of 1M.View quoted post on X
