GPT-5.5 Pro leads on more of the 4 benchmarks where both are measured — GPT-5.5 Pro on 2, tied on 2. The remaining 5 of 9 tracked benchmarks cannot be compared: 3 have a result for only one of the two models, 2 for neither. Nothing on this page is estimated to fill those in.

Head-to-head

Measured on 4 of 9 tracked benchmarks for both models — GPT-5.5 Pro leads on 2, tied on 2.

Benchmark results measure specific tasks and should not be treated as a universal measure of model quality. A model with no row here for a benchmark has not been measured on it — that is left blank, never estimated.

What remains uncertain

GPT-5.5 Pro has no published result on SimpleQA Verified.
GPT-5.6 Sol has no published result on FrontierMath, FrontierMath Tier 4.
2 tracked benchmarks have no published result for either model.

A missing result means Xentir has not found one published by the source it cites, not that the model performs badly. See Data Sources.
