I'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.

Can't say the same about Opus 4.7 right now. Hopefully 4.8 delivers
