GPT-5.2 vs GPT-5.5: Overview
GPT-5.2 is OpenAI’s latest flagship large language model, released in December 2025. It is a proprietary, multimodal system supporting text and vision inputs, along with tool use, and features a 400,000-token context window designed for working with long documents, extended conversations, and complex workflows.
Relative to GPT-5.1, GPT-5.2 is positioned by OpenAI as offering improved long-context reasoning, more capable tool use, and stronger performance on professional tasks such as writing, coding, spreadsheet work, and image interpretation. The model is available in multiple variants (including Instant, Thinking, and Pro) that balance speed, cost, and depth of reasoning, making GPT-5.2 a general-purpose model aimed at reliability and workflow robustness rather than minimal latency or lowest cost.
GPT-5.5 is a multimodal large language model released by OpenAI on April 23, 2026, engineered for autonomous, multi-step knowledge work and agentic workflows. It accepts text, images, and code as input, featuring enhanced spatial reasoning and visual grounding to support its computer use capabilities for operating software and navigating UI elements. Built to execute complex workflows end-to-end, the model interprets loosely defined tasks, selects appropriate tools, and performs self-verification with minimal user intervention. It is available in a standard version, a Thinking mode for extended reasoning budgets, and a Pro variant that uses parallel test-time compute for maximum precision on complex tasks.
Co-optimized with NVIDIA for GB200 NVL72 infrastructure, GPT-5.5 delivers per-token latency comparable to its predecessor GPT-5.4 while maintaining a 1-million-token context window. Despite increased capability, the model achieves greater token efficiency in coding and data analysis workflows, often completing tasks with fewer total tokens than previous versions. OpenAI reports a 60% reduction in hallucination rate compared to GPT-5.4, improving reliability for accuracy-sensitive applications. API access is available via the Responses and Chat Completions endpoints at $5 per million input tokens and $30 per million output tokens, double the unit price of GPT-5.4.
