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.
o3-mini
OpenAI1. High-intelligence small reasoning model
- Delivers strong reasoning performance in a compact footprint.
- Ideal for tasks that need intelligence but must stay cost-efficient.
2. Excellent for developer workflows
- Supports Structured Outputs, function calling, and Batch API.
- Reliable for backend automation, agents, and data-processing pipelines.
3. Strong text reasoning capabilities
- Handles multi-step logic, natural language analysis, SQL translation, entity extraction, and content generation.
- Works well for landing pages, policy summaries, and knowledge extraction (as shown in built-in examples).
4. 200K context window
- Allows large documents, multi-step analysis, and long-running conversations.
- Reduces the need for aggressive chunking or external retrieval systems.
5. High 100K-token output limit
- Enables long explanations, multi-section documents, or detailed reasoning sequences.
6. Pure text-focused model
- Input/output is text-only (no image or audio support).
- Optimized for language-heavy reasoning and logic tasks.
7. Broad API compatibility
- Works across Chat Completions, Responses, Realtime, Assistants, Embeddings, Image APIs (as tools), and more.
- Supports streaming, function calling, and structured outputs.
8. Cost-efficient for production at scale
- Same cost/performance profile as o1-mini but with higher intelligence.
