frequently asked

What is GPT-5.5 best for?+
GPT-5.5 is OpenAI’s frontier model designed for complex professional workloads, building on GPT-5.4 with stronger reasoning, higher reliability, and improved token efficiency on hard tasks. It features a 1M+ token context window (922K input, 128K output) with support for text and image inputs, enabling large-scale reasoning, coding, and multimodal workflows within a single system.
How much does GPT-5.5 cost?+
$5/M input and $30/M output, cache reads $0.50/M. In an agent loop most input is cache-read, so the effective input rate is about $1.85/M.
Which plan do I need?+
Available on Pro and above.
How do I switch to it?+
Run cmd --model gpt-5.5, or type /model in a session and pick it. You can switch mid-session without losing context.
