About GPT-5.5 Pro

Additional compute for smarter, more precise responses
Web search, file search, and code interpreter
Background mode recommended for long jobs

GPT-5.5 Pro is OpenAI's most advanced reasoning model, applying additional compute to GPT-5.5 to produce smarter and more precise responses on the hardest problems.

  • It offers a 1,050,000-token context window (vendor spec), 128K max output tokens, image input, and reasoning effort at medium, high, and xhigh, with access to hosted tools such as web search, file search, and code interpreter.
  • Because responses can take minutes, OpenAI recommends background mode for long jobs.
  • On Synthorai, GPT-5.5 Pro sits behind the same OpenAI-compatible API as the rest of the fleet.
