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.
Nano Banana
Google1. High-quality image generation
- Produces sharper, more detailed images than Gemini 2.0 Flash.
- Designed to generate professional-grade, aesthetically consistent visuals.
2. Advanced image editing capabilities
- Supports targeted, natural-language-driven edits (remove objects, change poses, recolor, blur backgrounds, etc.).
- Enables precise local transformations with simple prompts.
3. Multi-image fusion
- Can merge multiple input images intelligently into a single coherent scene.
- Useful for room restyling, product placement, and photorealistic composite images.
4. Character consistency across prompts
- Maintains the same character or object across multiple scenes and prompts.
- Suitable for brand assets, storytelling, product showcases, and multi-angle rendering.
5. Strong world knowledge
- Inherits Gemini's semantic understanding to reason about real-world objects.
- Can interpret hand-drawn diagrams and follow complex editing instructions.
6. Low latency + developer-friendly
- Based on the Gemini Flash family, optimized for responsiveness and cost-effectiveness.
- Easily testable and remixable using Google AI Studio's app builder.
7. Invisible SynthID watermarking
- All generated and edited images include Google's invisible SynthID watermark.
- Ensures traceability and responsible AI output.
8. Works with text + image input
- Accepts multiple images and text instructions simultaneously.
- Ideal for building interactive image tools, editors, and creative workflows.
