OpenAI launches GPT-5.5 Instant; unveils Jalapeño chip
OpenAI and Broadcom have presented Jalapeño, their first jointly developed AI inference chip, built by Broadcom and reportedly accelerated in design by OpenAI’s own AI models. The chip—described by the companies as an "intelligence processor" and a new "AI accelerator"—is currently in test mode and is said to deliver better performance per watt than existing alternatives, with an initial focus on inference (especially for coding models). OpenAI plans to begin integrating the first Jalapeño chips into its infrastructure at the end of 2026, with scaling in subsequent years. Market reaction was positive: Broadcom shares rose about 2% after-hours, and Broadcom projects strong near-term AI revenue (the company expects about $16 billion in Q3 AI-related revenue) and speaks of potential long-term cumulative AI revenue above $100 billion. The announcement is part of a cooperation first disclosed in October 2025.
A major AI platform (OpenAI) released an improved LLM variant and announced a proprietary inference chip, which can materially affect model performance, cost structure, infrastructure independence from NVIDIA, and downstream AI tooling and integrations used across advertising and marketing technology.

OpenAI launches GPT-5.5 Instant as ChatGPT default
OpenAI released GPT-5.5 Instant on May 5, 2026, making it the new default model for ChatGPT and replacing GPT-5.3 Instant. The company says GPT-5.5 Instant reduces hallucinations in sensitive domains (law, medicine, finance) while preserving the low latency of its predecessor. The model posts higher benchmark scores (AIME 2025: 81.2 vs 65.4; MMMU-Pro: 76 vs 69.2) and emphasizes improved context management: it can use a search tool to reference past conversations, files and Gmail. That context/memory-sources feature will roll out first to Plus and Pro web users, with mobile and broader tier expansion planned. For developers, OpenAI will expose the model via the API as “chat-latest”; GPT-5.3 remains available as an option for paid users for three months.
OpenAI Releases GPT‑5.5 Instant
OpenAI published the GPT-5.5 Instant System Card on 2026-05-05, documenting safety mitigations and technical distinctions for its new Instant model variant. GPT-5.5 Instant (referred to as gpt-5.5-instant) is the latest Instant model and is treated as High capability in OpenAI’s Cybersecurity and Biological & Chemical Preparedness safety categories. The card clarifies naming (no GPT-5.4 Instant; GPT-5.3 Instant is the baseline) and distinguishes GPT-5.5 Instant from the more capable GPT-5.5 Thinking. The system card complements OpenAI’s public release of GPT-5.5 Instant, which the company positioned as an improved, lower-latency model with reduced hallucinations and expanded context/memory features available via API as chat-latest and as ChatGPT’s default. The card links to a deployable system-card page for detailed safety and deployment guidance.
OpenAI launches GPT-5.5
Claire Vo publishes hands-on testing of OpenAI’s newly released GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.5 Pro (rolled into Codex and ChatGPT). Vo reports the models show higher capacity for complex work and greater token efficiency, and she demonstrates developer-focused use cases: long-running autonomous agent loops in Codex (including a near-six-hour run that reportedly handled 98% of migration edge cases and reduced Sentry errors), tackling tech-debt in a ChatPRD codebase, and reverse-engineering a proprietary Divoom MiniToo Bluetooth pixel speaker after other models failed. The article notes pricing the author calls expensive (reports GPT-5.5 at $5 per million input tokens and $30 per million output tokens; GPT-5.5 Pro referenced with '34 million input tokens' and $180 for output tokens) and highlights Codex features like a /personality command for tone customization. The piece complements OpenAI’s April 23, 2026 GPT-5.5 launch with practical developer workflows and measurements.
