Here is how to enable a 1M-token context window in Codex for GPT-5.6 Sol.

Even though we have tuned the context limit in Codex to be set optimally when it comes to performance and cost, this is a common ask, so here it is documented.

A larger context window lets Codex retain more code, tool output, and conversation history before summarizing older material. You need a model that supports it. And GPT-5.6 Sol, for example, has a documented 1,050,000-token window.

Open ~/.codex/config.toml and add or update these settings at the top level, before any [section] headers:

```
model = "gpt-5.6-sol"
model_context_window = 1000000
model_auto_compact_token_limit = 900000
```

The first setting selects the model. The second tells Codex to use a one-million-token context budget. The third starts automatic history compaction around 900,000 tokens, leaving some headroom. Restart Codex client and start a new session after saving.

To try the configuration for a single CLI session without changing your defaults:

```
codex -m gpt-5.6-sol \
-c model_context_window=1000000 \
-c model_auto_compact_token_limit=900000
```

Have fun, but also know that we tuned the default carefully!

Arthur Conan Doyle in “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes”:

“You see, but you do not observe. The distinction is clear.”

Something can be fully visible and still go unnoticed. Observing is way more than just seeing.

After the U.S. hit Soleimani, Trump says that he understood that Iran had to hit back to save face. So he managed the escalation to avoid a war. Is Biden capable of thinking this way?

I’ve been finding myself turning to #chatgpt4 for answers instead of defaulting to #Google. I looked into my Google Search history and ChatGPT usage data and there seems to be a trend!! This data only includes non nav searches and removed text editing tasks from chats too.

@GergelyOrosz Facebook workplace used to have an anonymous version for employees and at some point (maybe 2017) Zuckerberg shut it down. Anonymity can be cool but brings its own challenges
