Key Takeaways

  • Llama 4.5 Scout at 10M tokens leads the industry by an order of magnitude.
  • Among closed models, Google and OpenAI flagships sit at about 1 million tokens: Google lists 1,048,576 for Gemini 2.5 Pro and OpenAI lists 1,050,000 for GPT-5.5.
  • 1M context is now the open-weight frontier baseline (DeepSeek V4, Qwen 3.7, Llama 4.5 Maverick).
  • 256K is the modal context size for the Chinese consumer-anchored frontier (ERNIE, Doubao, GLM, Hunyuan).
  • Maximum advertised context does not equal usable context; retrieval quality at the upper end varies materially by model.

Methodology

Specs from vendor disclosures as of June 2026. Maximum context is the advertised ceiling; effective context (where retrieval quality degrades meaningfully) is typically 50 to 80% of maximum. Updated monthly.

How Presenc AI Helps

Presenc AI tracks how long-context capability shapes brand-visibility behavior. Long-context models reward authoritative long-form content and penalize thin marketing pages at the synthesis step.

Frequently Asked Questions

Llama 4.5 Scout from Meta at 10,000,000 tokens leads the industry by an order of magnitude.
About 1 million tokens. Google lists 1,048,576 for Gemini 2.5 Pro and OpenAI lists 1,050,000 for GPT-5.5 and its successors.
No. Effective context (where retrieval quality degrades meaningfully) is typically 50 to 80% of maximum. Long-context evaluations like RULER and LongBench measure usable context separately from advertised maximum.
Not consistently. Retrieval quality at the upper end varies materially by model.
