OpenAI Expands GPT-6.1 Sol: Default Context Rises from 272k to 500k, Long Texts Are Free
Tibo, an OpenAI engineer, announced that the default context for Codex and GPT-6.1 Sol in the Work environment has been increased from 272k tokens to 500k tokens, representing an increase of about 80%. A single conversation can now handle nearly double the length, making it easier to deal with entire code repositories, long reports, and complex multi-turn tasks, reducing automatic compression, mid-conversation truncation, or forced summaries. For example, it is now easier to track information throughout hundreds of pages of contracts.
