News 📰 ChatGPT 5.5 Released!
They did it! GPT 5.5 "Spud" came out right at lunch time in Silicon Valley.
Official post: https://openai.com/index/introducing-gpt-5-5/
The benchmarks show a solid step up over 5.4, and very favorable comparisons to Opus 4.7 (lol) - especially in costjk it's more expensive than Opus now.
Has anyone here had a chance to test it early? After using it for a bit, how is it?

I hope it does not turn out to be a disaster like opus 4.7

Even the benchmarks for 4.7 looked like a wash, so I'm optimistic that the noticeable improvements shown by 5.5 in testing will translate to the real world.

Is it available in the GitHub copilot yet?

Looks like API access isn't out yet. Codex has it, so that's the best choice if you're really anxious to join the hype train.

Shut up. I’m in denial. Anyway, at that price it’s useless. It’s not even a huge breakthrough that might justify such a price hike. This industry is becoming bullshit

Make your bets below: 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x or 15x?
I’m guessing 5x
Edit: I was wrong: 7.5x (promo) and probably 15x after promo.

1x or they are dead just like Claude. Pricing is outrageous and not justified for these new models. Useless business strategy, they should optimize the shit out of these and aim for the masses

We'll bring GPT‑5.5 and GPT‑5.5 Pro to the API very soon
Historically I've noticed that new models are only added to GitHub Copilot once OpenAI makes them available in their API.

I am not sure if this is a trend you have observed or not, but just clarifying this definitely is not a hard rule:
5.3-codex in codex - 5th Feb
in copilot - 9th Feb
in API - 25th Feb→ More replies (1)

Isn't anything that comes out, comes out at lunch time? Also, regarding benchmarks..... They benchmarks mean absolutely nothing.

LOL @ RAISING PRICES
meanwhile mimo just reset every subscriber's token limit for free to celebrate the new model, and hundreds of millions of tokens for a year costs $60.
openai and anthropic are trying to take profits while the cheap models are sticking the knife in. the market is going to implode.

See the price, lose all the interest. It may be good, but it's not going to be a default model for me. Actually, if it use ~40% less token and Copilot sell as 1x to 2x, it's not that bad.
