OpenAI Unveils GPT-5.5

GPT-5.5, internally codenamed 'Spud,' is designed to function as a 'superapp' capable of executing complex tasks with minimal instruction.

OpenAI asserts the model significantly reduces 'hallucinations' and offers superior performance in financial modeling and scientific data analysis.

However, the release has also drawn warnings from cybersecurity experts, as the model carries a 'High' risk rating for potential misuse.

The launch coincides with a jury trial set to begin Monday in the multi-billion dollar lawsuit filed by Elon Musk against Sam Altman over the company's shift away from its non-profit roots.
