  • Huet claims GPT-5.5 further improves performance for agentic coding.
  • He also attributes GPT-5.5’s gains to better “computer use,” implying stronger capabilities for tasks performed on a computer.
  • Huet confirmed that OpenAI will not release a separate GPT-5.5-Codex model.
  • The post frames these updates as moving more coding and computer-execution functionality into one unified GPT system rather than specialized variants.

Since GPT-5.4, we’ve unified Codex and the main model into a single system, so there’s no separate coding line anymore.

GPT-5.5 takes this further, with strong gains in agentic coding, computer use, and any task on a computer.
