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.
GPT-5.4
OpenAI1. Best Intelligence at Scale
- OpenAI positions GPT-5.4 as its frontier model for agentic, coding, and professional workflows.
- Built for complex professional work where stronger reasoning and higher answer quality matter.
2. Configurable Reasoning + Multimodal Input
- Supports configurable reasoning effort from none to xhigh, letting teams balance speed and depth.
- Accepts both text and image inputs while producing text output.
3. Massive Context for Long-Running Work
- 1.05M token context window supports very large codebases, documents, and multi-step workflows.
- Allows up to 128 k output tokens for long-form answers and larger generations.
4. Updated Knowledge & Broad Tool Support
- Knowledge cut-off of Aug 31 2025 keeps it current for newer frameworks and business context.
- Supports tools like web search, file search, code interpreter, hosted shell, computer use, and MCP in the Responses API.
