Overview

OpenAI announced its new GPT‑5.5 model, describing it as the “smartest and most intuitive to use model yet, and the next step toward a new way of getting work done on a computer.”

The company previously released GPT‑5.4 last month, and now claims GPT‑5.5 “excels” at tasks such as:

• Writing and debugging code
• Conducting online research
• Creating spreadsheets and documents
• Performing work across different tools

According to OpenAI, users can give GPT‑5.5 a messy, multi‑part task and trust it to:

• Plan the workflow
• Use appropriate tools
• Check its own work
• Navigate ambiguity
• Continue iterating without needing step‑by‑step management
