OpenAI: GPT-5.5 (batch)

OpenAI's GPT-5.5 (batch) is designed for handling text, image, and file inputs within a context length of 1,050,000 tokens, making it versatile for various applications. This model supports reasoning and tools integration but does not offer structured output directly. With a blended benchmark score of 92.6 across four independent benchmarks, GPT-5.5 demonstrates strong performance in general AI capabilities and coding tasks; however, its agentic behavior scoring leaves room for improvement. Given its pricing at $2.5 per million input tokens and $15 per million output tokens, it may be more suitable for organizations or individuals with specific needs that justify the cost, especially those looking to leverage a robust model across multiple modalities and benchmark scores.
