GPT-5.5
OpenAI's 2025 flagship model, predecessor of the GPT-5.6 family.
GPT-5.5 was OpenAI’s flagship model before the GPT-5.6 generation arrived in mid-2026. It still powers parts of ChatGPT, including portions of the free tier.
Model names change fast; what matters for readers is the pattern. Each generation gets cheaper per unit of capability, and yesterday’s flagship becomes today’s free tier.
