Please Consider Expanding the Context Window on You.com's Pro Plan

Currently, the Pro plan offers a 64k context window, which is about half of what even an older open-source model like llama-3.1-8b (128k) supports. With this limit, it can be quite challenging to work with larger amounts of information — sometimes it's even difficult to summarize a single academic paper in full.
From what I understand, the cost side of things may not be a major barrier either. Most providers charge the same API rates for context windows up to 128,000 or 131,072 tokens, unless the model is an especially resource-intensive, high-performance one.
With that in mind, I'd gently suggest expanding the context window to at least 128k. Honestly, I haven't come across another $20/month service that caps its context at 64k, so I believe this adjustment would bring You.com more in line with user expectations — and make the Pro plan feel even more valuable.

I agree.
You.com will be hemorrhaging customers soon simply for this very reason. 128k or 256k does not seem that unreasonable for a company that wants to keep pace with the marketplace. I have already identified 2 alternatives that I can switch to (if You.com doesn't respond to market conditions) after my You.com subscription runs its course.
I think You.com has a unique opportunity here. They currently have 2 plans: Pro (64k tokens) and Max (1M tokens). There should be one or 2 plans that fall in between. I would pay a little extra ($10/month more) if there were a Premium Plan (with 128k or 256k tokens).
