GPT-5.5 Instant is currently rolling out in @ChatGPTapp . I'd still recommend using Thinking mode instead, but it's an improvement over GPT-5.3 Instant which we were stuck with until now. Especially good for Free tier users, who don't have other options!

GPT-5.5 Instant really said STEM? I got this. GPQA (PhD Science): 78.5% - 85.6% AIME 2025 (Comp Math): 65.4% - 81.2% Math + science upgrades are getting too real. We're cooked (in a good way) [image]

Rolling out GPT-5.5 Instant will have a bigger impact on the world than most will appreciate. Close to a billion people use the free tier of ChatGPT, and Instant is the main model for them. GPT-5.5 will be a huge upgrade in intelligence from the current 5.3 for everyday chats.

My hunch: if 5.5 Instant shares the same base model as 5.5 Thinking and is being rolled out broadly, then one or more things must be true: - it's not an insanely large model (1-3T?) - the Instant path is heavily optimized/routed/constrained - OpenAI has a lot more inference
