Strengths side by side
Where each model shines, according to benchmarks and provider positioning.
GPT-5.5
1. 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.
DeepSeek V3
1. Exceptional at large-scale data analysis
- Designed to handle massive datasets.
- Identifies trends, correlations, and anomalies.
2. High performance in predictive analytics
- Useful for forecasting, modeling, and probabilistic predictions.
- Popular in finance, medical research, and market trend analysis.
3. Optimized for structured, data-heavy workloads
- Stronger at analytical and statistical tasks than general text generation.
4. Enterprise-oriented capabilities
- Built for businesses needing deep insights from continuous data streams.
