AGENTS

GPT-5.5: The “Spud” Leaks & The New Frontier of Omnimodal AI – A New Foundation: Unlike incremental updates, GPT-5.5 (codenamed “Spud”) is rumored to be a completely new pre-trained base, built on nearly two years of focused research. – Big Model Smell: OpenAI’s Greg Brockman points to a major qualitative shift models becoming less rigid and more intuitive, adapting to user intent without over-explanation. – Omnimodal & Agentic: Designed as a natively omnimodal system, GPT-5.5 is expected to function as a highly autonomous agent rather than a traditional chatbot. – Extreme Time Horizons: A key goal is extending long form reasoning handling complex, open-ended tasks over significantly longer timeframes. – Unlocking New Abilities: Early signals suggest it can solve tasks that previously required heavy prompting or weren't feasible for LLMs at all. – The Arena Tease: Rumored first-pass image generations are already surfacing in AI arenas, hinting at early testing or a near-term reveal. – The Pricing War: While competitors like Claude Mythos are rumored at $100 per 1M tokens, OpenAI may price GPT-5.5 more aggressively to drive adoption. – Imminent Rollout: Following recent hints from leadership, “Spud” could arrive soon as a key step toward OpenAI’s broader AGI push.
