gpt-5.5 — API, Pricing & Context Window | Vivgrid

gpt-5.5 is OpenAI's flagship model and Vivgrid's top recommendation for coding agents. It pairs a 1.05M-token context window with strong multi-step reasoning, making it well suited for whole-repository refactors, long agent traces, and complex tool-calling workflows.

On Vivgrid, gpt-5.5 is served through a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint with geo-distributed acceleration across AMER and EMEA, so requests are routed to the nearest compute region for lower latency. You can switch your agent to gpt-5.5 from the Console without changing a line of application code.

Ideal use cases

• Autonomous coding agents and CLI tools (Codex, OpenCode, Claude Code-style flows)
• Large-context tasks: reading and editing entire codebases in one pass
• High-stakes reasoning where output quality outweighs token cost
• Multi-tool agents that chain function calls across long sessions
