Analysis Summary

GPT-5.5 is OpenAI's current flagship, topping both the intelligence index (60.2) and coding index (59.1) across the entire benchmarked field. Its agentic index of 77.2 is the highest recorded, and benchmark scores across GPQA (0.935), HLE (0.443), terminalbench (0.606), and tau2 (0.939) confirm consistent leadership across reasoning, coding, and autonomous task completion.

For businesses, GPT-5.5 is the strongest available option for autonomous coding agents, complex multi-step analysis, long-document reasoning, and high-stakes client-facing workflows. Vision, tool use, and function calling are all confirmed, and a 1M token context window supports full codebase or large document ingestion. Instruction following (ifbench 0.759) and long-context reasoning (lcr 0.743) are both class-leading.

At $5 input and $30 output, pricing is competitive for a model at this capability tier. Teams running the most demanding workloads, from software engineering to autonomous research agents, should treat GPT-5.5 as the primary benchmark against which all other models are measured.
