Runtime service evidence

Measured values with the date they were observed. Nothing is inferred from a sibling model or a provider claim.

Time to first token: latency to the first answer chunk (Artificial Analysis, via BenchLM). Reasoning models include thinking time, so values can run to tens or hundreds of seconds.

Evidence key: Observed

Regional or per-endpoint measurements appear only when the API supplies them; none are modelled here.

Self-hosted listingOpenAI's current API pricing page lists gpt-5.5 at $5.00 input / $0.50 cached input / $30.00 output per million tokens for short-context requests. Batch and Flex are available at half the standard rate, and Priority is 2.5x the standard rate.The rates above are a hosted price matched from another provider, not a first-party list price.

Workload-aware monthly cost example

10 conversations per day × 8 messages × 22 active days, 1200 input and 400 output tokens per message, no cache. This uses the same calculator as the cost simulator, so an unavailable applicable rate makes the example unavailable too.

Lifecycle and limitations log

Lifecycle events the source associates with this model, plus what this profile does not claim.

No lifecycle event references this model.

That is not evidence the model has no lifecycle plan — only that this source published none.

What this profile does not claimValues are reproduced exactly as their sources published them, in the units those sources declared; none are converted, interpolated, or averaged across providers. Any field marked unavailable was attempted and not returned — the attempt timestamp is in each badge. Last attempted fetch for this model’s score: 2026-09-17 17:17 UTC.
