I started using GPT-5.5 on low/no reasoning because of Ben and since then I can:
1. Activate fast mode all day without running out of credits
2. Time to task completion is 10% what it was with thinking
3. The model feels significantly more like a Claude model
4. Cheap AF
Ben Davis@davis7This is very late, but I'm finally done with my 5.5 vid - use low reasoning - the name sucks - it's fast - best code I've ever seen a model write came from this model - openai's new pre-training is amazing - price looks worse than it is - over sensitive to every little thing in it's context window - feels wildly different compared to 5.4 - turn reasoning off. try it. turn the reasoning off. do it.
