Overview
OpenAI just dropped GPT-5.5, their most capable model to date, with major gains in agentic coding, computer use, knowledge work, and scientific research — plus GPT-5.5 Instant inside ChatGPT with major healthcare conversation upgrades. Timing is no accident: this comes ~5 weeks before OpenAI's expected confidential IPO filing. And it's the same week OpenAI launched DeployCo, their own $4B applied-AI consulting subsidiary. Here's what changes for devs, enterprises, and competitors.
✅ GPT-5.5 capability deep dive (SWE-Bench, computer use, multi-doc reasoning)
✅ GPT-5.5 Instant in ChatGPT — the healthcare safety upgrade
✅ The DeployCo strategy (Accenture/Deloitte/McKinsey competitor)
✅ Why this drops 5 weeks before the IPO
✅ How it compares to Claude Opus 4.6 and Gemini
✅ Honest trade-offs (pricing, model card gaps, regional restrictions)
✅ 3 moves this week for agent builders, consumer apps, and consultants
