Key claims and evidence
Key claims in source A
- the model can write code that enables it to control computers and carry out actions such as issuing keyboard and mouse commands in response to screenshots.
- The company said the new model comes with native computer-use capabilities, allowing it to operate devices and applications directly.
- The company said the new model performs better when answering complex questions that require gathering information from multiple sources.
- OpenAI also claims GPT-5.4 is its most factual model so far, with individual claims about 33 per cent less likely to be false compared with the earlier GPT-5.2 model.
Key claims in source B
- Where previous models required carefully structured prompts and multi-step supervision, OpenAI says 5.5 can take a “messy, multi-part task” and independently plan, use tools, check its work, navigate ambiguity, and keep…
- Across all of these, OpenAI says GPT-5.5 improves on GPT-5.4’s scores while using fewer tokens.
- OpenAI says GPT-5.5 matches GPT-5.4’s per-token latency in real-world serving, meaning it delivers a step up in intelligence without a corresponding increase in response time.
- GPT-5.5 is priced higher per token than GPT-5.4, but OpenAI says the net effect is better results for lower total cost in most workflows.
