i've never had any issues with 256k context. see no reason to bump up to 1m if it comes at a premium.

It's pretty handy for have very long contexts for long running agents, or else when doing literary analysis to simply be able to load the entire book in.

Don’t they compact context to remove irrelevant details automatically?

They remove potentially irrelevant details.

Using Claude/ChatGPT I rarely hit >256k context for most basic coding tasks. Sometimes if I need to do something more "intense" (bigger refactors, new features) the 1mil window is nice.
