OpenAI released GPT-5.5 on April 23, 2026. The benchmark numbers are good. The token efficiency claim is interesting. But the thing that will actually matter to anyone running a business is that this release is the clearest signal yet that OpenAI is collapsing ChatGPT, Codex, and its AI browser into one product.

AI
SpaceX struck a conditional deal with Cursor: $60 billion acquisition option later this year, or a $10 billion walk-away fee if they pass. That's not a partnership. That's an empire buying the layer where every developer writes code.
