Decision facts
- GPT-4o-mini is #139; GPT-5.5 is #13 on the same current language board.
- Index scores are 39.7 for GPT-4o-mini and 82.5 for GPT-5.5. Their published uncertainty intervals do not overlap, but the aggregate Index does not predict performance on every task; compare the relevant benchmark configurations before choosing.
- Both positions use Measured evidence.
- Listed output price per 1M tokens is $0.60 for GPT-4o-mini and $30.00 for GPT-5.5. For 1,000 requests with 2,000 input and 500 output tokens each (2M input + 0.5M output), the listed-rate estimate is $0.60 for GPT-4o-mini versus $25.00 for GPT-5.5. GPT-4o-mini costs 97.6% less in this scenario. This excludes caching, batch discounts, prompt-length tiers, tool charges and retries; verify the selected endpoint before budgeting.
- Published context is 128,000 tokens for GPT-4o-mini and 1,050,000 for GPT-5.5.
- ModelCap currently lists 2 providers for GPT-4o-mini and 3 for GPT-5.5.
These are separate published fields, not a synthetic winner. ModelCap does not collapse price, access, context, and capability evidence into a hidden recommendation score.
