OpenAI [1]released its new GPT-5.5 model today, which the company calls its " [2]smartest and most intuitive to use model yet , and the next step toward a new way of getting work done on a computer." The Verge reports:
> OpenAI just released GPT-5.4 last month, but says that the new GPT-5.5 "excels" at tasks like writing and debugging code, doing research online, making spreadsheets and documents, and doing that work across different tools. "Instead of carefully managing every step, you can give GPT-5.5 a messy, multi-part task and trust it to plan, use tools, check its work, navigate through ambiguity, and keep going," according to OpenAI. The company also notes that GPT-5.5 will have its "strongest set of safeguards to date" and can use "significantly fewer" tokens to complete tasks in Codex.
GPT-5.5 is rolling out on Thursday for Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise ChatGPT tiers and Codex, with GPT-5.5 Pro coming to Pro, Business, and Enterprise users.

I am still waiting for someone to announce that the new version of their product is worse than the old version at something.

My butcher says, meat is healthier than bread and my baker says just the opposite.
I eat both with a grain of salt.:-)
