What the labs claim

Vendor claims — compare against the measured scores above. A claim is what a developer says about its own model, not an independent measurement.

GPT-5.5 Pro

General

  • In GPT-5.5 Pro, early testers are seeing a significant step up in both the difficulty and quality of work ChatGPT can take on

Reasoning

  • GPT-5.5 Pro, designed for even harder questions and higher-accuracy work, is available to Pro, Business, and Enterprise users.

Writing

  • testers found GPT-5.5 Pro's responses significantly more comprehensive, well-structured, accurate, relevant, and useful

Kimi K2.5

Agentic / Tool Use

  • It seamlessly integrates vision and language understanding with advanced agentic capabilities, instant and thinking modes, as well as conversational and agentic paradigms.
  • K2.5 transitions from single-agent scaling to a self-directed, coordinated swarm-like execution scheme.

Coding

  • K2.5 generates code from visual specifications (UI designs, video workflows) and autonomously orchestrates tools for visual data processing.

Multimodal

  • Kimi K2.5 is an open-source, native multimodal agentic model built through continual pretraining on approximately 15 trillion mixed visual and text tokens atop Kimi-K2-Base.
A higher number is not always a better model. Each score is task performance under a disclosed harness. Of the 14 measurements across 7 shared benchmarks, 14 single-evaluator or undisclosed-protocol reports; 57% are independently reproduced. Kimi K2.5 pricing is cross-check disputed — weigh cost claims with the same caution as benchmark wins. Follow any benchmark to its integrity grade before reading a win as decisive.
