Creator Theo and founder DHH say GPT-5.5 excels at software engineering when guided by high-level steering and custom agent files
Theo spent two months tuning his prompts and agents.md files.
#19Greg Brockman@GDBGPT-5.5 is a uniquely good coding model
Theo - t3.gg@theoIt took me like 2 months, but I've grown to love gpt-5.5. You have to prompt entirely different and put some time into your agents[.]md. Now that I'm over the hump, I can't really use any other model for code.
#804Romain Huet@ROMAINHUETPretty special to see this from DHH.
Hard not to feel the same when you’re building with GPT-5.5.
DHH@dhhI've had more "I can't believe it's this good" moments with GPT5.5 than any other model since Opus 4.5. It's shockingly, scarily capable. Days and days of amazing progress. All steering, no handwriting. Yet utterly delightful to conduct its coding. So, so good.
#839Beff (e/acc)@BEFFJEZOSCan't say the same about Opus 4.7 right now. Hopefully 4.8 delivers

@theo when's the video / prompt guide

@theo you enjoying 5.6?

@theo its a good model, great actually
