GPT-5 with a 32K context: Why it causes problems for @OpenAI users! A 32K token window for GPT-5 sounds generous until you try to do real work with it. In multi turn chats and coding sessions, that budget melts fast. Every message carries overhead you never see, including system instructions, tool calls, formatting, and the growing backscroll. Paste a few files, an error log, and a stack trace, and there is little room left for earlier decisions and constraints. The result is familiar: the model forgets rules you set, repeats solved ideas, or breaks prior choices. Coding punishes small windows most. Real context spans many files, from entry points and helpers to configs, tests, and build scripts. Cross file reasoning is brittle when only fragments fit. The model guesses signatures or imports because the true definitions aged out of view. Large refactors are worst, since safe renames demand that all call sites and invariants be visible together, which 32K rarely allows. Multi turn work compounds the problem. Summaries save space but shed nuance, so architectural intent and subtle constraints drift. Day two feels like a collaborator who skimmed notes, not one who lived the decisions. Style guides slip, variable names morph, and edge cases vanish. Tool use magnifies pressure. Function call JSON, schemas, and verbose outputs occupy the same window you hoped to fill with code and instructions. Chunking helps, but boundaries cut through logical units. Retrieval and summarization are useful, yet they trade fidelity for capacity. The bottom line: 32K forces the model to choose what to forget, and that choice is rarely yours.
You only have to read this paragraph detailing aspects of Max Purcell's doping to get a very clear idea of why he voluntarily accepted the suspension.
A terrible look, really.
BREAKING: Off-court coaching will be allowed from 2025. Currently, off-court coaching is only allowed in team events. This will be the first time where off-court coaching will be permitted for all individual matches. “The rules of tennis committee felt this particular change could make the game fairer and more entertaining.” Source: itftennis.com/en/news-and-me…
What drives me CRAZY about these situations (in terms of going on X) is not the actual cases themselves. It’s tough to know exactly what happened/all the details in all of these specific instances, so the speculation talk isn’t really my favorite thing to do. It’s fine to have your own honest opinions but what I can’t fathom and what is so upsetting to see as a player, is the INSANE bias from the tennis public supporting whatever story pushes the agenda they want to be pushed. If it’s a rival of the player you support that tests positive then you are on team “let’s call them a doper/cheater/disgrace them as much as possible” and if it’s your fav player that it’s about then it’s “innocent no questions asked” How are you not able to remove your own personal bias and form an educated and honest opinion for yourself? Even if as the player, you can prove your innocence (not saying anyone is or isn’t) people that support rival players/have bias against you will always blindly push the narrative you are a cheater, and that fact really makes me sad for all the true innocent players that have to go through this.
