OpenAI GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna now support 1 million token context windows on Amazon Bedrock

Amazon Bedrock's OpenAI GPT-5.6 models now support 1 million token context windows, enabling processing of entire codebases and long documents in a single request

OpenAI GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna models on Amazon Bedrock now support 1 million token context windows. This allows processing of entire codebases, lengthy documents, and multi-turn agent histories in a single request, enabling models to reason over broader context and return more accurate, coherent responses without chunking or information loss. With a context window size of 1 million tokens, you can analyze entire repositories for code review and migration, process long-form legal or regulatory documents end-to-end, and maintain full conversation history in multi-step agentic workflows. Prompt caching with explicit cache breakpoints applies to long context requests, so repeated context is billed at a caching discount.
