OpenAI rolled out GPT-5.5 Instant as the new default for ChatGPT and API, enhancing factuality, intelligence, image understanding, and tone with stronger personalization features like saved memories and Gmail integration. OpenAI also shared infrastructure updates on a rebuilt WebRTC stack for voice and real-time API, aiming to reduce latency for speech-paced conversations. Developer tools expanded with an Agents SDK for TypeScript, sandbox agents, and open-source harnesses, improving coding and automation workflows. Discussions highlighted the importance of Model–Harness–Task fit over raw model quality for agent performance, with debates on agent coding UX and benchmarks. Community sentiment praises GPT-5.5 for high-token-budget coding and non-coding tasks.
