Can I use gpt-5.1 and grok-4.6 through the same API?
Yes. Requesty provides a single OpenAI-compatible API that routes to both. Change just the "model" parameter to switch between "openai/gpt-5.1" and "xai/grok-4.6", no other code changes needed.
What are the context windows?
gpt-5.1 supports up to 400K tokens of context. grok-4.6 supports up to 500K tokens. Longer context means you can feed larger documents or codebases in a single prompt, though quality often degrades past 128K for most models.
