Standout feature
03 - GPT-5.5 (OpenAI)
Current OpenAI flagship successor to GPT-5.4 with source-backed GPT-5.5 benchmark coverage Strong current coding evidence across SWE-Bench Pro and Terminal-Bench 2.0 Official 1M-context API positioning with higher published token pricing than GPT-5.4 Designed for long-running coding, research, data analysis, documents, spreadsheets, and tool workflows Best evaluated with source-specific caveats because launch benchmark rows are vendor-reported except where official benchmark leaderboards list exact variants
