OpenCode Zen
OpenAI introduced GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.5 Pro on April 23, 2026, positioning the family as its "smartest and most intuitive" model yet, with particular gains in agentic coding, computer use, knowledge work, and early scientific research. GPT-5.5 Pro is rolling out to Pro, Business, and Enterprise users in ChatGPT, and the post was updated April 24, 2026, to confirm GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.5 Pro are also available in the API alongside an updated system card describing additional safeguards. The launch post emphasizes efficiency: GPT-5.5 matches GPT-5.4 per-token latency in real-world serving while operating at a higher intelligence level, and uses significantly fewer tokens to complete the same Codex tasks. OpenAI described its strongest set of safeguards to date, including evaluation across its safety and preparedness frameworks, internal and external red-teaming, targeted testing for advanced cybersecurity and biology capabilities, and feedback from nearly 200 trusted early-access partners before release.
