OpenAI has published a system card detailing its new GPT-5.5 model, emphasizing its advanced capabilities and rigorous safety protocols. The model is engineered for sophisticated real-world applications, including code generation, online research, data analysis, and cross-tool operations.

GPT-5.5 demonstrates improved task comprehension, requiring less user guidance and utilizing tools more effectively than its predecessors. It is designed to self-correct and complete tasks autonomously.

Before its release, the model underwent comprehensive predeployment safety evaluations. This included targeted red-teaming for advanced cybersecurity and biology, alongside feedback from nearly 200 early-access partners.

OpenAI is implementing its most robust set of safeguards to date with GPT-5.5. These measures aim to mitigate misuse while enabling legitimate, beneficial uses of its advanced features.

The safety findings for GPT-5.5 are generally considered applicable to GPT-5.5 Pro, which uses the same model with a parallel processing setting. However, specific evaluations are conducted for GPT-5.5 Pro when this setting might alter risk profiles or safeguard requirements.
