OpenAI Launches GPT-5.5 with Enhanced Autonomous Task Handling and Efficiency

OpenAI has launched GPT-5.5, its latest AI model designed to handle complex, multi-step tasks with minimal user guidance. The model improves coding, research, data analysis, and software operation, offering faster, more efficient performance while maintaining response speed. GPT-5.5 introduces an 'agentic' capability, enabling it to plan, execute, and verify tasks autonomously. It is currently available to paid ChatGPT users and enterprise clients, with API access expected soon, marking a step toward OpenAI's vision of a unified AI super app.
