IT Home Reports Unverified Deprecation of OpenAI GPT-5.5 Model

IT Home reported that OpenAI plans to deprecate its alleged GPT-5.5 model across ChatGPT and Codex on October 14. The article advises users relying on the model to migrate to unannounced successors such as GPT-5.6 Sol or GPT-6 Astra. While framed as a product deprecation announcement, the article relies on unverified and non-existent OpenAI model iterations. It highlights the importance of verifying AI product roadmaps directly through official vendor documentation rather than unconfirmed third-party reports. The story claims that GPT-5.5 was released on April 24 as a token-efficient alternative to a supposed GPT-5.4 model. However, OpenAI has not officially released or announced any models under the GPT-5.5, GPT-5.6, or GPT-6 naming conventions.
