Capability & preference

General capability · ECI

A cross-benchmark capability estimate. Index points, not a percentage; intervals show uncertainty.

GPT-5.5 Pro 163.1* GPT-5.5 Pro · 95% interval 160.0–166.6

Model performance

Radar task score: four tests, equal weight. An experimental summary of these tasks, not a universal intelligence rating.

GPT-5.5 Pro

Radar task score

Unrated

1/4 core tests · not enough evidence

2 benchmark results for this configuration

Scientific reasoning

GPQA Diamond · 25%

Expert-written science questions; strict multiple-choice scoring. Chance accuracy is 25%.

GPT-5.5 Pro Not available

Novel problem solving

Mystery Game Puzzles · 25%

Best-next-move puzzles in an undisclosed game variant. A narrow reasoning test, not general intelligence.

GPT-5.5 Pro Not available

Advanced mathematics

FrontierMath Tiers 1-3 · 25%

Private v2 mathematics problems with Python tools. Earlier versions and Tier 4 are excluded.

GPT-5.5 Pro 87.7*% Approx. 95% interval: 83.9–91.5%

Factual answers

SimpleQA Verified · 25%

Correct factual answers under a guessing prompt, graded by a model. Not a hallucination or abstention score.

GPT-5.5 Pro Not available

Research mathematics

FrontierMath Tier 4 v2 · Separate result

The hardest private FrontierMath problems, corrected v2 set, with Python tools. Separate from Tiers 1-3 in the core score.

GPT-5.5 Pro 78.0*% Approx. 95% interval: 65.2–90.9%

Bars show reported task scores. Whiskers are approximate 95% intervals where standard errors are available. Different reasoning budgets are not equal-cost tests. Missing results are never zero.
