GPT-5.5
Mainline GPT-5.5 workhorse — strong general chat and tooling without Pro-tier spend.
When to use it
Default production chat, tools, and mixed workloads on OpenAI.
Watch-outs
Not the coding peak; route hard SWE tasks to Claude or GPT-5.6 Sol.
Benchmarks
Human preference ranking from blind pairwise chats. Higher is better; top frontier models cluster within ~50–80 Elo.
Artificial Analysis composite across agents, coding, science, and general evaluations (v4.1 weighting).
Percent of real GitHub issues resolved end-to-end. Strong signal for agentic coding usefulness.
PhD-level science questions. Separates frontier reasoning models better than saturated knowledge tests.
Harder multi-choice knowledge/reasoning suite than classic MMLU.
Frontier closed-ended academic difficulty across many domains.
