GPT-5.5
OpenAI1. Strongest Agentic Coding Model
- State-of-the-art on Terminal-Bench 2.0 (82.7%), Expert-SWE (73.1%), and SWE-Bench Pro (58.6%), outperforming GPT-5.4 on complex coding tasks.
- Holds context across large systems, reasons through ambiguous failures, and carries changes through surrounding codebases with fewer tokens.
2. Higher Intelligence at GPT-5.4 Latency
- Co-designed, trained, and served on NVIDIA GB200/GB300 NVL72 systems to match GPT-5.4 per-token latency while performing at a significantly higher level.
- Uses fewer tokens to complete the same tasks, making it more efficient as well as more capable.
3. Powerful for Knowledge Work & Computer Use
- Scores 84.9% on GDPval (44 occupations) and 78.7% on OSWorld-Verified for autonomous computer operation.
- Excels at generating documents, spreadsheets, and reports; naturally moves across finding information, using tools, and checking output.
4. Scientific Research Co-Scientist
- Leading performance on GeneBench, BixBench, and FrontierMath; helped discover a new proof about Ramsey numbers verified in Lean.
- Strong enough to meaningfully accelerate progress at the frontiers of biomedical and mathematical research.
Claude 3.5 Haiku
Anthropic1. Intelligence & Benchmark Performance
- Matches Claude 3 Opus (previous largest model) on many intelligence tasks.
- Surpasses Claude 3 Opus on multiple evaluations despite being a smaller, faster model.
- Major improvements across every skill category vs previous Haiku.
2. Coding Strength
-
Scores 40.6% on SWE-bench Verified, outperforming:
- Claude 3.5 Sonnet (original version)
- GPT-4o
- Many agent-driven systems
-
Excellent for engineering assistants, agent coding tasks, and bug fixing.
3. Speed & Latency
- Same speed class as Claude 3 Haiku (ultra-fast).
- Ideal for real-time interactions, high request volumes, and UI responsiveness.
4. Tool Use & Instruction Following
- Better at following instructions than previous Haiku.
- Stronger at tool use accuracy, making it reliable for agents and workflows.
5. Best Use Cases
- High-volume, low-latency tasks
- User-facing products
- Sub-agent tasks in larger workflows
- Processing large structured datasets (pricing, inventory, purchase history)
- Rapid content or code generation where speed matters
