GPT-5.5 is the flagship tier of OpenAI's GPT-5 series and the direct successor to gpt-5.4. Its headline feature is scale: a 1,050,000-token context window with up to 128,000 output tokens per response, backed by a December 2025 knowledge cutoff. That combination makes it one of the few models that can ingest an entire codebase, a full legal data room, or a book-length manuscript in a single request and still produce a long, coherent answer. Within the GPT-5 family, gpt-5.5 occupies the quality end of the everyday range: it is markedly stronger than gpt-5.4 on multi-step reasoning and long-horizon coding tasks, while staying far below the cost of the pro-tier variants. Expect deliberate rather than snappy responses on hard prompts — it is tuned to spend effort on getting complex answers right, so latency-sensitive, high-volume workloads are usually better served by the smaller 5.4-series models, with gpt-5.5 reserved for the requests where answer quality is the bottleneck. On CaMeL Hub, gpt-5.5 is served through both the Chat Completions endpoint (/v1/chat/completions) and the Responses endpoint (/v1/responses), with streaming and image input supported. Any OpenAI SDK works unchanged — point base_url at https://api.camel-hub.com/v1, pass model "gpt-5.5", and you are billed per token: $3.75 per 1M input tokens and $22.50 per 1M output tokens on the public default group.

What it is good for

Quickstart

OpenAI-compatible: set base_url to https://api.camel-hub.com/v1 and use your CaMeL Hub API key. No SDK changes needed.

cURL

curl https://api.camel-hub.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CAMEL_HUB_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-5.5",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
  }'

Python

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="$CAMEL_HUB_KEY",
    base_url="https://api.camel-hub.com/v1",  # <-- the only change vs. the OpenAI default
)

resp = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-5.5",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)

Node.js

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.CAMEL_HUB_KEY,
  baseURL: "https://api.camel-hub.com/v1", // <-- the only change vs. the OpenAI default
});

const resp = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "gpt-5.5",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello!" }],
});
console.log(resp.choices[0].message.content);

Frequently asked questions

How is gpt-5.5 billed on CaMeL Hub?

Input and output tokens are metered separately: $3.75 per 1M input tokens and $22.50 per 1M output tokens on the public default group. Streaming responses are billed identically to non-streaming ones, and usage is deducted from your prepaid balance per request.

Does gpt-5.5 support streaming and image input?

Yes. Set stream: true for token-by-token streaming, and pass images (e.g. as image_url content parts) for vision tasks — gpt-5.5 accepts image input and returns text. Both work through the standard OpenAI request format on CaMeL Hub.

What are the context window and output limits?

Per OpenAI's model documentation, gpt-5.5 has a 1,050,000-token context window and supports up to 128,000 output tokens per response. Note that very large prompts are billed by input token count, so filling the window has a proportional cost.

Which API endpoints can I use for gpt-5.5?

On CaMeL Hub, gpt-5.5 works with both the OpenAI Chat Completions API (/v1/chat/completions) and the newer Responses API (/v1/responses). Existing OpenAI SDK code needs no changes beyond the base_url.

How do I start using gpt-5.5?

Register at https://api.camel-hub.com/console, top up (Alipay, WeChat Pay, and international cards are supported), and create an API key. Then set base_url to https://api.camel-hub.com/v1 in any OpenAI SDK and call model "gpt-5.5" — no other code changes required.
