Long Context Reasoning With Extended Thinking

via “200k context window with extended thinking token management”

OpenAI's reasoning model with chain-of-thought problem solving.

Unique: Integrates extended thinking tokens into a unified 200K context window, requiring the model to manage both reasoning compute and input context within a single budget. This is architecturally different from models that separate thinking tokens from context tokens.

vs others: Larger context window than GPT-4 (8K-128K depending on variant) enables full-codebase analysis and long-document reasoning in a single request, though at the cost of higher latency and token consumption.
