Our take
Hi Dotikers!
Yesterday, Tokyo and Beijing were setting the pace on physical AI, racket in hand and stopwatch on the wrist. Twenty-four hours later, OpenAI reminds us that on the model front, nobody has the time to look anywhere but San Francisco. GPT-5.5 drops seven weeks after GPT-5.4, one week after Anthropic's Opus 4.7, and the meter isn't slowing down.
Pitched by Greg Brockman as a new class of intelligence, the model clearly targets the ground where Anthropic has been hurting the competition for a year: agentic coding and autonomous computer use. The numbers do the talking. 82.7 percent on Terminal-Bench 2.0 versus 69.4 for Opus 4.7, 78.7 on OSWorld-Verified, and a Pro mode that caps BrowseComp at 90.1 percent, ahead of Gemini 3.1 Pro. On SWE-Bench Pro, however, Opus 4.7 keeps the lead at 64.3 against 58.6, something OpenAI politely chalks up to memorization on the Anthropic side. The jab is noted.
The truly interesting angle is elsewhere. Brockman and Altman keep repeating the super app mantra, one that would fuse ChatGPT, Codex and their browser into a single agentic tool for the enterprise. Bank of New York is already testing the model alongside Anthropic's. Nvidia is using it as chief of staff for its internal agents. The battle is no longer about the benchmark of the month, it's about who becomes the default interface for office work. And the API pricing, 30 dollars per million output tokens for the standard version, 180 for the Pro, gives a fair sense of what OpenAI thinks it can charge clients who, on their end, have stopped looking at prices.
All this, exactly one week after Opus 4.7. Saying that Sam Altman is taking the outsider position on enterprise badly would be a polite understatement.
Alex.
