From PC World: One reason I took a break from ChatGPT a few months ago (I’m back now) was how sick to death I got of its constant emojis, especially when it came to lists. The brain emoji was my least favorite, along with the green checkmarks, the pointy fingers, and the yellow “hazard” signs.
Well, I’ll believe it when I see it, but with its latest “instant” model, OpenAI promises that we’ll be getting way less of those “gratuitous” emojis in ChatGPT’s responses.
Available now for all ChatGPT users—I haven’t seen it on my account yet, so it must still be rolling out—GPT-5.5 Instant is now the default ChatGPT model, replacing GPT 5.3 Instant.
Among other qualities, OpenAI says GPT-5.5 Instant is more accurate, serving up 52.5 percent fewer hallucinations than GPT-5.3 Instant on “high-stakes” prompts relating to medicine, law, and finance, while cutting “inaccurate claims” by 37.3 percent on “especially challenging” chats. Those are encouraging figures, but we’ll have to wait for independent benchmarks to evaluate its real-world performance.
