## AI overview

The article compares OpenAI's GPT-5.5 and GPT Image 2 updates, arguing that both emphasize outputs usable with less post-processing. It discusses GPT-5.5's reasoning, coding, tool use, large context window, workflow integration, and reported efficiency improvements, alongside GPT Image 2's image generation and editing capabilities.

## Source excerpt

OpenAI has rolled out two updates that on the surface seem like two separate things, but actually share a common thread. GPT-5.5 makes a big jump in terms of reasoning, coding and tool use, while GPT Image 2 focuses on image generation and editing. At first glance, it's not the individual new features that stand [...] The post GPT-5.5 and GPT Image 2: What Actually Changed appeared first on RisingStack Engineering.
