What GPT-5.5 is best for
- Hard problems where answer quality matters more than cost: strategy, analysis, difficult writing
- Very long documents and codebases: a 1.1M-token window fits entire books or repositories in one conversation
- Working with images: screenshots, charts, photos and scanned documents alongside text
- Tool use and agents: reliably calls functions, so it can search, run skills and drive workflows
