A tweet about GPT-6 Astra suggests enabling an experimental context management setting and adjusting Codex's max token limit upward, as Astra is trained to use a different form of context management that leaves notes for itself. However, the author later corrects: context windows above 272k will incur higher charges, and recommends against doing this.
