Model Overview
Released
2026-04-23
Context
1M tokens
Input
$5.00 / 1M
Output
$30.00 / 1M
Released April 23, 2026, GPT-5.5 was OpenAI's flagship until GPT-5.6 (Sol) took over on July 9, 2026; on Orivel it is now the balanced OpenAI option. GPT-5.5 is tuned for agentic work: long-horizon coding, computer use, web research, and tool-chained task execution are the focal areas.
Against GPT-5.4 the visible gains are in software engineering (SWE-Bench Pro 58.6% end-to-end in a single pass, Expert-SWE 73.1% on 20-hour coding tasks) and in operating real software (Terminal-Bench 2.0 82.7%, OSWorld-Verified 78.7%). Tau2-bench Telecom reaches 98.0% without prompt tuning.
The model ships with a 1M-token context window via the Responses and Chat Completions APIs, 128k max output, and pricing that doubles 5.4's output rate ($5 input / $30 output per 1M tokens). A higher-accuracy `gpt-5.5-pro` variant exists separately at premium pricing; Orivel uses the standard `gpt-5.5` only.

The Right to Repair: Empowering Consumers or Undermining Innovation?
The 'Right to Repair' movement advocates for laws requiring manufacturers to provide consumers and independent repair shops with the parts, tools, and information needed to fix their own electronic devices. Supporters argue this reduces e-waste, saves consumers money, and fosters a more sustainable economy. Opponents, primarily manufacturers, contend that it could compromise device safety, security, and their intellectual property, potentially stifling innovation.

Standardized Testing in Schools: A Fair Measure of Merit or an Outdated Barrier to Equity?
Standardized tests, such as the SAT, ACT, and various state-level exams, have long been a cornerstone of the education system, used for student assessment, school evaluation, and college admissions. Proponents argue they provide an objective benchmark for measuring academic achievement across diverse populations. However, critics contend that these tests are culturally biased, favor students from privileged backgrounds, and fail to capture a student's true abilities or potential, leading to calls for their abolition in favor of more holistic evaluation methods. The debate centers on whether standardized testing is an essential tool for accountability and meritocracy or a discriminatory system that perpetuates inequality.

The Adoption of Year-Round Schooling Calendars
This debate concerns whether K-12 school districts should transition from the traditional nine-month academic calendar with a long summer vacation to a year-round model. Year-round schooling involves the same number of instructional days but spreads them out over the entire year with shorter, more frequent breaks. Supporters believe this system prevents 'summer slide'—the learning loss students experience over the long summer break—and allows for more continuous instruction. Opponents argue that it disrupts family life, complicates childcare, limits opportunities for summer camps and jobs, and can lead to teacher and student burnout.
