Strengths
  • + Half the per-token price of GPT-5.5 while staying in the frontier coding/professional tier
  • + 1M-token context window with up to 128K output tokens
  • + mini variant targeted at subagent and computer-use workloads for high-volume agent fleets
  • + Strong retrieval quality on general-domain text
  • + API-based; no embedding infrastructure to host
Tradeoffs
  • − OpenAI directs complex reasoning and coding to GPT-5.5 instead
  • − Older knowledge cutoff (Aug 31, 2025) than GPT-5.5
  • − API-only; document text leaves your environment to be embedded
  • − Adds a second vendor alongside the generation model
