Overview
GPT-5.5 vs Claude Opus 4.8 Overview
Everything you need to know about these AI models, including capabilities, performance, pricing, and technical details.
OpenAI / GPT-5.5
maxDescription
OpenAI's frontier model is built for complex professional work. GPT-5.5 takes on demanding coding, deep reasoning, and analysis across very large inputs. It reads text and images, searches the web for current information, and lets you dial its reasoning effort up or down depending on how hard the problem is. Priced at the premium end of OpenAI's range, and built to earn it.
Anthropic / Claude Opus 4.8
maxDescription
Anthropic's flagship is built for work that other models get wrong. Opus 4.8 takes on the hardest coding, the deepest analysis, and writing that has to be right first time. It reads images and documents, holds a very large amount of context at once, and works through problems step by step so you can follow its logic. Slower and more expensive than lighter models, by design.

OpenAI / GPT-5.5
maxFrontier-Level Coding
OpenAI positions this as its model for the most complex professional work, with coding as the headline use. Handles large codebases, multi-step engineering tasks, and production-quality output.
Highest-Rated Reasoning
OpenAI's own model documentation rates its reasoning Highest, the top of the scale. Reasoning tokens are supported, so the model thinks before it answers, and you control how much thinking it does.
Large Context Window
1,050,000 tokens, among the largest available anywhere. Load an entire codebase, a full research corpus, or a large document set and ask questions across all of it. Prompts above 272,000 input tokens are billed at a higher rate.
Long-Form Professional Writing
Built for output that ships, not quick drafts. Writes up to 128,000 tokens in a single response, which covers long reports, full documentation sets, and extended technical writing without splitting the job up.
Live Web Research
Web search is a supported tool, so it can pull current information into an answer rather than working only from what it was trained on. Its knowledge cutoff is 1 December 2025, so anything more recent needs that search.
Text & Image Input
Reads text and images. OpenAI's documentation lists image as input-only and states that audio and video are not supported. File search is supported, so it can work across uploaded documents.
Anthropic / Claude Opus 4.8
maxCoding Assistance
Best-in-class. Handles large refactors, subtle bugs, and unfamiliar codebases. Built for the code that defeats lighter models, not routine changes.
Reasoning & Problem Solving
Best-in-class. Works through multi-step problems in the open, showing its reasoning as it goes. Strongest where the answer is not obvious.
Document & File Understanding
Best-in-class. A one-million-token context window, roughly 750,000 words. Load a full contract set, research folder, or codebase and ask questions across all of it.
Writing & Content Creation
Best-in-class. Professional output that needs editing rather than rewriting. Holds tone and structure across long pieces, up to 128,000 tokens in a single response.
Research & Analysis
Best-in-class. Reads dense, contradictory, or ambiguous material and forms a judgment. The strongest choice when the analysis itself is the hard part.
Multimodal Support
Text and images. Anthropic's documentation lists text and image input for all current Claude models. Audio and video input are not listed. Reads PDFs, spreadsheets, contracts, and code files.
