Key claims and evidence
Key claims in source A
- The model excels at writing and debugging code, researching online, analyzing data, building documents and spreadsheets, and even operating software across different apps,” the press release said.
- Unlike earlier versions that needed careful step-by-step instructions, GPT-5.5 can take on messy, multi-part tasks from start to finish, according to the press release by the company.
- Built with advanced infrastructure and efficiency gainsTh press release said GPT-5.5 was co-designed and served on NVIDIA GB200 and GB300 NVL72 systems, with Codex helping engineers test and optimize the stack itself.
- The company said finance team used it to review 24,771 K-1 tax forms -- 71,637 pages in total -- cutting two weeks off the process.
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.
