ByteDance's next-generation video model with a unified multimodal reference-to-video architecture. Generates video from text, up to 30 reference images, 10 reference videos, and 10 reference audio clips — including audio-only input with no image or video required. Supports first/last-frame image-to-video, video editing, video extension, intelligent duration (including automatic selection), and adaptive aspect ratio.
GPT-5.5 pro uses OpenAI's Responses API with built-in tools, improved reasoning, and stateful context management.
