The North American technology company OpenAI announced the launch of its “smartest and most intuitive” artificial intelligence (AI) model developed to date, GPT-5.5, capable of carrying out most tasks autonomously.
In a statement, the company said that GPT-5.5 excels in writing and debugging code, online research, data analysis, creating documents and spreadsheets, software management and switching between tools to complete a task.
Thus, a user can assign GPT-5.5 a complex, multi-step taskand the model “will plan, use tools, review its work, deal with ambiguous situations, and continue working.”
The company emphasizes in the press release that GPT-5.5 understands the user’s intended task more quickly and can perform much of the work autonomously, making it more efficient in solving problems.
“Improvements are especially notable in agent coding, computer usage, and early scientific research — areas where progress depends on contextual reasoning and decision-making over time,” the company says.
The new model is being implemented for users of the Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise plans of ChatGPT and Codex, the cloud-based software engineering agent.
However, OpenAI is working with partners and customers to meet the necessary security requirements and for now will not release this technology as an API (application programming interface), which would allow other companies to integrate it into their applications.
OpenAI’s announcement comes weeks after Anthropic, one of its competitors, announced the Claude Mythos Preview, a new computational model with programming and cybersecurity capabilities so advanced that the company decided to veto its launch to the general public, considering it a risk to global security.
Companies that can access Mythos include Amazon, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Nvidia, CrowdStrike, JPMorgan Chase, Cisco, Broadcom, Palo Alto Networks and the Linux Foundation.
Like Anthropic, OpenAI also decided to share one of its previous models, GPT-5.4-Cyber, with a select group of partners.
