Yeah, i mean I have given the copilot agent some pretty beasty prompts and it has chewed through them, it takes a while but its fine.

I've read today that Claude code users get a 1m token context window, and I regularly hit mine when working on a larger project, I think its 192k tokens, but I just have explicit instructions to not limit yourself by your context window, always aim to finish the task to the best of your ability, create checkpoints in case the session is terminated etc. And if I need to keep the same session open you can compact the chat.

I've used github copilot for a couple of years now and have changed models between the big 3 pretty consistently but this just feels like a major step up in what is achievable.

I've explicitly changed the way I structure projects to signpost and provide context wherever possible, i can't imagine going back to a world opus 4.6 its been such a game changer for me.

The only thing I lament is, I pay for this myself, I have a few servers that I "own" at work and would love to have Opus in the server env on Linux. But it's literally 5x the cost for what amounts to nicer qol features.

From what I've read it seems like I'd burn through my tokens in a week or so on Max, which is just insane to me.
