In the early stages of the AI boom, market dynamics were defined by a straightforward race to build the smartest model with the highest benchmark scores. However, as the ecosystem matures, raw computational power and peak capabilities are no longer the sole measures of success, meaning the most powerful AI models may not necessarily become the most important or widely adopted.
A key architectural detail has been revealed for OpenAI's new GPT-5.6 model family: unlike predecessor models that discarded Chain of Thought (CoT) context at each turn to save context window space, GPT-5.6 maintains its reasoning context across the entire conversation history. This change ensures that the model preserves its logical chain and intermediate reasoning steps throughout multi-turn interactions.
