IT Home October 12 news: Thibault Sottiaux (Tibo) of OpenAI announced today that the default context length for GPT-6.1 Sol in the Codex and Work environment has been increased to 500k, which is approximately 80% higher than the previous 272k.
Tibo said that although OpenAI will continue to raise the limit in the future, this adjustment has already significantly reduced the frequency of context compression triggers, and allows for more comfortable handling of tasks that require retaining a large amount of context and complex details over a long period.
This value has been thoroughly tested, and for the majority of users, it represents the optimal balance between experience and performance (sweet spot).
Of course, if you want to increase or decrease it, manual setting is still supported. The maximum context length limit supported by GPT-6.1 Sol is 1M.
IT Home notes that, as part of this adjustment, when the usage amount is deducted from the subscription, OpenAI will not charge a long context fee for GPT-6.1 Sol.
