So when it comes to models that the general public can access, GPT-5.5 has retaken the crown for OpenAI, achieving the state-of-the-art across 14 benchmarks.

Tencent has updated its Hunyuan AI model, its first major release since it recruited Yao Shunyu, a leading AI scientist from OpenAI. Tencent’s Hy3 model, currently available in preview, offers improvements in areas from complex reasoning to coding.

OpenAI is releasing GPT‑5.5 to paid ChatGPT users on Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans, with a higher‑end GPT‑5.5 Pro tier reserved for Pro and enterprise options. Free users will not get access to GPT‑5.5 at launch.

On Thursday, OpenAI announced it had developed a large language model specifically trained on common biology workflows. Called GPT-Rosalind after Rosalind Franklin, the model appears to differ from most science-focused models from major tech companies, which have generally taken a more generic approach that works for various fields.

OpenAI says the new model is built to require less prompting, complete multi-step workflows, and support professional uses such as coding, research, and data analysis.
