How low will the OpenAI GPT 5.5 input token price get in 2026?

It’s genuinely so weird reading how other experience the same models as you. Sure I haven’t tested the new models from OpenAI, but like Opus works really nicely for what I ask of it, even Sonnet where as GPT 5.5 was always lacking and doing a horrible job. So hearing the inverse is always weird.

🚀 GPT 5.5 model 60% off Exciting news about GitHub Copilot Apps! GPT 5.5 is currently available at a 60% discount. A big thank you to the @github.com for this offer. Just when my credit ran out :) #Github #VSCode #GithubCopilotApps #Coding #Developers #Microsoft #Cloudfamily @vscode.dev

Hear the bubble popping yet? "...beat Claude Opus 4.8 and GPT 5.5..." "...surpasses OpenAI and Anthropic’s most capable systems on some benchmarks." "Chinese models are already gaining traction among Western companies..." "....remain cheaper than the most advanced offerings from American labs."

GPT 5.5 for comparison, something changed

According to this site, Gemini 3.1 thinks I am the wife of a historical figure (my husband's great-great-great-great-great somethingorother), and GPT 5.5 thinks I'm a rights advocate for women of my husband's ethnicity (which is not mine). It goes without saying that neither is true.

Ugh. “GPT 5.5 says American Author known for Speculative fiction, including the novel The Wild Swans.” Yeah, because YOU STOLE IT. Still awaiting my settlement check from the Anthropic class action settlement.

New research from Cato Networks shows how much power can come from a harness. It paired OpenAI’s ChatGPT 5.5 and GPT 5.5-Cyber models with its own tool and tested the abilities of the agent to hack into a victim network with as little human direction as possible. cyberscoop.com/ai-cybersecu...

GPT 5.6 might have broken my aversion to GPT models. It's nice to have a model that's like fable but without all the extra fable-slop wordiness, price tag anxiety, and that is still possible to talk to. GPT 5.5 and before always felt like I was talking to something with no "there" there

"We trained GPT‑Red, an automated red-teaming model...at the compute scale of some of our largest post-training runs at OpenAI" "GPT‑Red is a very strong attacker: it can break nearly all models it is pitted against, both internal and production models up to and including GPT‑5.5."

After going through the #DH2026 programme deciding what sessions to attend (torn on many!) I fed the PDF to NotebookLM, Gemini Thinking 3.5, GPT 5.5, and Claude Sonnet 5.5. Gave them the same prompt asking for 1st & 2nd suggestions based on my interests (listed and name provided), and reasons why.

who wrote this code? it's Opus. it's literally 4.8. it's Fable delegating to Sonnet. it's GPT 5.6-terra on xhigh. terra is basically 5.5 luna on max. it's GLM. dude it's a Qwen distill. it's Larch. run Larch. log onto Larch. dive into Larch. Larch has tokens for you. Larch has tokens for you.

ChatGPT is back on WhatsApp across the EEA, now powered by the new GPT‑5.5 and gpt‑image‑2. OpenAI teams up with Meta AI to bring richer messaging. Curious how this changes chats? Dive in! #ChatGPT #GPT55 #WhatsApp 🔗 aidailypost.com/news/chatgpt...

bugs detected per lines of code (from the Cubic AI report) is not a bad matrix to evaluate code quality from GenAI quite interesting to see Opus 4.8 does so terribly bad sgainst GPT 5.5

ACRouter’s new AI model selector slashes costs—up to 2.6× cheaper than pure Opus setups. Dynamic routing between GPT‑5.5, Claude Opus, and open‑weight models means smarter enterprise AI. Check it out! #ACRouter #ModelRouting #ClaudeOpus 🔗 aidailypost.com/news/acroute...

Tried a code review from GPT 5.6 sol after using Opus 4.8 and GPT 5.5 for a while and it was a qualitative step up wrt insight, high level understanding of intent, and anticipating future failure modes Maybe Fable would be as good but still can't try it with anything bio...

Day 71 #ScienceAIBench: Dopamine receptors D1-D4. GPT 5.5 wins 3/4 subtypes, peak Spearman 0.627 on D2. D4 hardest (max 0.228). Frontier captures dopamine SAR partly — subtype gaps remain. #DrugDiscovery #InsilicoBench

Day 70 #ScienceAIBench: antibody polyreactivity. GPT 5.5 leads (peak 0.152 Ovalbumin). Predicting nonspecific antibody binding stays a near-zero blind spot for every model. #DrugDiscovery #InsilicoBench
