TL;DR
“GPT-5.5 is a new model designed for complex, real-world work, including writing code, researching online, analyzing information, creating documents and spreadsheets, and moving across tools to get things done. Relative to earlier models, GPT-5.5 understands the task earlier, asks for less guidance, uses tools more effectively, checks it work and keeps going until it’s done.”

Capability claim
- “We are releasing GPT-5.5 with our strongest set of safeguards to date, designed to reduce misuse while preserving legitimate, beneficial uses of advanced capabilities.”
Mitigations
- “we have deployed an expanded set of safeguards to restrict the ability of malicious actors to benefit from increased capabilities in cybersecurity performance (section link to Cyber Safeguards section).”
- “we trained GPT-5.5 to refuse requests that clearly enable unauthorized, destructive, or harmful actions, including areas such as malware deployment, credential theft, and exfiltration.”
Deployment scope
- “available on the internet, information that we partner with third parties to access, and information that our users or human trainers and researchers provide or generate.”
