GPT-6.1 Sol gets about 80% more default context in Codex and Work

Top News

GPT-6.1 Sol's larger default context is designed to reduce compression in long-running tasks. GPT-6.1 Sol now starts with a larger default context in Codex and Work, moving from 272k to 500k tokens. The update targets tasks that need to retain substantial context and detail over time.

Here's what changed:

• The default context is now 500k in Codex and Work, about 80% above 272k.
• The maximum context is 1M, separate from the new default.
• You can still override the context setting yourself.
• The larger default was tested as a new balance point for most users.

Why care? You can choose the tested 500k default or override the context setting yourself for tasks that need a different context length.
