Frequently Asked Questions

How much does GPT-5.5 Pro cost?

GPT-5.5 Pro costs $30.00 per 1M input tokens and $180.00 per 1M output tokens via OpenAI.

What does GPT-5.5 Pro cost for 10M input and 2M output tokens?

At OpenAI's rates, 10M input tokens and 2M output tokens cost about $660.00: $300.00 for input and $360.00 for output. Input is prompts and context, output is what the model writes back; a workload that generates more than it reads shifts the cost toward the output rate of $180.00 per 1M tokens.

Which providers offer GPT-5.5 Pro?

One provider lists GPT-5.5 Pro: OpenAI ($30.00 in / $180.00 out).

What is GPT-5.5 Pro's context window?

GPT-5.5 Pro accepts up to 1M tokens of input per request and returns up to 128K tokens per response. The context window is the prompt plus any documents, conversation history and tool results sent with it; every token in it is billed at the input rate.

What is GPT-5.5 Pro's knowledge cutoff?

GPT-5.5 Pro's knowledge cutoff is December 2025: its training data runs up to that month and it has no built-in knowledge of later events. It supports web search, which can supply newer information at query time.

What inputs and outputs does GPT-5.5 Pro support?

GPT-5.5 Pro accepts text and images as input and produces text. Its listed capabilities are function calling, structured output, web search, code execution, file upload, MCP and image generation.

How does GPT-5.5 Pro compare with GPT-5.4 Pro?

GPT-5.5 Pro and GPT-5.4 Pro both cost $30.00 per 1M input tokens ($180.00 vs $180.00 per 1M output tokens). Both have a 1M-token context window.

What are cheaper alternatives to GPT-5.5 Pro?

Models from other creators with a lower input rate and at least GPT-5.5 Pro's 1M-token context window: Llama 4 Scout at $0.17 per 1M input tokens (10M context). Rates are the cheapest listed provider for each; whether the quality holds for a given task is a separate question.
