Agentic / Tool Use
“Gemini 3.1 Pro was evaluated across a range of benchmarks, including reasoning, multimodal capabilities, agentic tool use, multi-lingual performance, and long-context.”
Multimodal
“a suite of highly capable, natively multimodal reasoning models”
Reasoning
“Gemini 3.1 Pro is Google's most advanced model for complex tasks.”
Agentic / Tool Use
“The gains are especially strong in agentic coding, computer use, knowledge work, and early scientific research”
Coding
“It excels at writing and debugging code, researching online, analyzing data, creating documents and spreadsheets, operating software, and moving across tools until a task is finished.”
General
“We're releasing GPT-5.5, our smartest and most intuitive to use model yet, and the next step toward a new way of getting work done on a computer.”
Speed / Latency
“GPT-5.5 matches GPT-5.4 per-token latency in real-world serving, while performing at a much higher level of intelligence.”
