About this model
GPT-5.5 is OpenAI's most advanced frontier model, optimized for complex real-world work including agentic reasoning, long-context workflows, tool use, and high-performance code generation. It can plan, execute, and complete multi-step tasks with minimal guidance while maintaining strong context over long durations.
Best suited for
- Advanced agentic workflows and long-horizon task execution
- Enterprise-grade software development, debugging, and refactoring
- Complex research, data analysis, and information synthesis
- Multimodal workflows (text + image inputs) across tools
- Automated business operations (documents, spreadsheets, reports)
- Scientific and technical research with multi-step reasoning
- AI agents that can plan, act, and self-correct over time
Built-in tools
Hosted by the gateway — enable them per request without wiring your own endpoint.
Capabilities
Vision
Accepts images alongside text in the same message.
Files
Accepts file attachments — PDFs, transcripts, spreadsheets.
Tools
Native function calling, so agents can invoke your endpoints.
System prompt
Honours a dedicated system role, separate from the user turn.
Reasoning
Emits a separate thinking pass before the answer.
Supported parameters
max_tokensSpecifies the maximum number of text units (tokens) allowed in a response, limiting its length.
toolsLists tool definitions or capabilities available to the model.
tool_choiceDecides whether to use tools or just the model for generating responses.
response_typeDefines the format or type of the generated response.
parallel_tool_callsEnables parallel execution of tools, allowing multiple tools to run simultaneously.
reasoningControls how much reasoning effort the model applies before generating a response.
verbosityControls the level of detail and length of the generated responses.
streamSends the response in real-time as it's being generated.
