Used as the cheaper coding model that implements Fable's spec via Codex. The creator says OpenAI's generous quotas make it effectively cheap.

GPT-5.5 is a large language model from OpenAI. The provided official page text does not include a model card or specifications, so details such as release date, context window and benchmarks are not confirmed here.
YouTube creators describe it in practical workflows. Matt Wolfe added it to the Odysseus app through an API key as a stronger cloud baseline, reporting better answers and noticeably better SVG output than local models, at a higher per-response cost. Matthew Berman used it through Codex as a comparatively cheap coding model that implements a specification written by another model, and as a code reviewer offering an alternative viewpoint in a multi-model workflow.
It is accessed through OpenAI's products (ChatGPT, Codex) and the OpenAI API. It is a proprietary, closed-weights model.
- Accessible via ChatGPT, Codex and the OpenAI API
- Used for code implementation and code review in creator workflows
- Reported to produce better SVG output than local models
- Business and API offerings support data residency options and a DPA

Used in the creator's multi-model workflow as the code reviewer to give an alternative viewpoint.
Added to Odysseus via API key and used as the stronger cloud baseline. It gave better answers and far better SVGs than the local models, at a higher per-response cost.
Cited as a model that is nearly as capable as Mythos and Fable at finding vulnerabilities, and is still being served by OpenAI. The creator expects it to be just as jailbreakable as other models.
Used as the comparison model: its 3D scene reconstruction and music output were compared to Fable 5, and it scored lower on benchmarks and costs $30/M output tokens. Creator still prefers it with Codex for daily tasks.
Powered the planning phase when Perplexity Computer built the knowledge base web app.
Tops the DeepSWE leaderboard at about 70%, 15+ points above Opus 4.7. It is also cheaper per trial ($5.80), uses fewer tokens (about 47k) and runs faster than Opus 4.7. It follows prompts literally and has the lowest rate of missing stated behaviors.
Nearly as good as Opus 4.7 on CursorBench but cheaper, about $4 per task at extra high. Praised for its price-to-capability ratio.
