Decision reading
GPT-5.5 has the higher public score estimate, 72.07 versus 69.95, but the 90% score intervals overlap. Treat that as a lead, not a settled winner.
17 results are shared. Category rows resting on Estimated evidence or different benchmark sets are marked directional and do not name a winner.
Share or export
Recommendations appear only when a shared evidence basis or an explicit operating constraint supports the call. Secondary and unsupported use cases stay disclosed below the initial list.

Shared results can support a head-to-head reading. Results present for only one model describe coverage, not superiority.
1 category rests on Estimated evidence or different evidence sets. Those rows remain visible for coverage context but do not name a winner.
Each row shows the public-lane category score for both models: the BenchAlign lane for agentic, coding, and knowledge, and the weighted public rows elsewhere, with the same rank each model page reports. A row is like-for-like only when both scores rest on Supported evidence or the same weighted set. Directional and not-comparable rows remain visible, but they never receive a winner.

Ranks count the models scored in each category’s lane, so the agentic, coding, and knowledge denominators (BenchAlign) differ from the provisional-lane categories. Unranked scores sit on the lane’s scale but never name a winner. Like-for-like rows within 0.5 points read as a practical tie.
Only shared public evidence is shown. Sparse evidence stays a ruled list rather than being closed into a radar shape.
Too few matched category axes support a radar. The ruled list below shows only shared benchmark results; positions use each benchmark’s normalized display scale when available.

Three fixed token mixes turn per-token rates into comparable decisions. Each scenario states context fit and whether cached input had to fall back to the published list-input rate.

GPT-5.5 has the higher public score estimate, 72.07 versus 69.95, but the 90% score intervals overlap. The higher estimate is not a decisive winner because the uncertainty ranges overlap.
GPT-5.5 leads the public coding lane, 67.6 to 46.3, with Supported evidence for both models and non-overlapping 90% intervals.
GPT-5.5 leads the public agentic tasks lane, 61 to 38.9, with Supported evidence for both models and non-overlapping 90% intervals.
For the stated presets, chat costs $0.008 on Gemini 3.1 Pro and $0.02 on GPT-5.5; repository review costs $0.136 and $0.34; the cache-heavy agent loop costs $0.2 and $0.5. Costs use the listed standard API rates.
Both models list the same context window, 1M.
