Closed weights OpenAI April 2026

No estimate

No hardware requirements for this model

The weights for this model have not been published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any size. It is reachable only through its provider, and no graphics card changes that.

On record

Full specification

Everything on record for this model. Most of it describes how it was trained rather than how it runs — useful context for judging how much work went into it, and how it compares with models built at a different scale.

GPT-5.5 Pro was published by OpenAI, in the country recorded as United States of America, during April 2026. The publishing organisation is categorised as industry.

It works in the domain of Multimodal, Language, Vision, and is recorded as performing the task of language modeling/generation, Question answering.

Because the weights are not available, none of the hardware figures elsewhere on this site apply to it.

Training and provenance

The reason it appears in this catalogue at all: discretionary.

Answers

GPT-5.5 Pro — common questions

01

GPT-5.5 Pro— is it open source?

No. Its weights have not been published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

02

GPT-5.5 Pro— how many parameters does it have?

No parameter count has been published for it, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.

03

GPT-5.5 Pro— who created it?

It was published by OpenAI, based in United States of America, an organisation categorised as industry.

04

GPT-5.5 Pro— when was it released?

It was published in April 2026.

05

GPT-5.5 Pro— what is it used for?

It works in the domain of Multimodal, Language, Vision, and is recorded as handling the task of language modeling/generation, Question answering. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.

06

GPT-5.5 Pro— what GPU do I need to run it?

None. This is a closed model — its weights were never published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any price. It is reachable only through its provider.

The other direction

Looking at it from the other side?

This page starts from the model. If you already own a card and want to know everything it will run, start from the hardware instead.
