Oh, well, ChatGPT is being left in the dust…

When done correctly, having one million tokens of context window is amazing for all sorts of tasks: understanding large codebases, summarizing books, finding information on many documents, etc.

Existing RAG solutions fill a void up to a point, but they lack the precision that large context windows offer.

I’m excited for this release and hope to see it soon on the UI as well.

Fwiw, OpenAI does have a decent active API model family of GPT-4.1 with a 1M context. But yes, the context of the GPT-5 models is terrible in comparison, and it's altogether atrocious for the GPT-5-Chat model.

The biggest issue in ChatGPT right now is a very inconsistent experience, presumably due to smaller models getting used even for paid users with complex questions.

		Doesn’t it matter more what context they provide via Claude Code and Codex CLI? And arent they similar anyway there? Because the API with maximum context is very expensive (also not rolled out to everyone)
