OpenAI Releases GPT-5.5, Calling It a 'New Class of Intelligence' — at Double the API Price
OpenAI has unveiled GPT-5.5, an agentic model built to handle complex, multi-step tasks autonomously across tools like code execution, web search, and data analysis. The model outperforms Claude Opus 4.7 and Gemini 3.1 Pro on key benchmarks — but API pricing doubles compared to its predecessor, forcing enterprises to weigh capability gains against cost.
