Scores 92/100 (rank #6), placing it in the top 98% of all 290 models tracked.
Scores 67/100 (rank #108), placing it in the top 63% of all 290 models tracked.
GPT-5.5 has a 25-point advantage, which typically translates to noticeably stronger performance on complex reasoning, code generation, and multi-step tasks.
Llama 4 Maverick offers 98% better value per quality point. At 1M tokens/day, you'd spend $11.25/month with Llama 4 Maverick vs $525.00/month with GPT-5.5 - a $513.75 monthly difference.
Both models have comparable response speeds. For most applications, the latency difference is negligible.
When latency matters most: Interactive chatbots, IDE code completion, real-time translation, and user-facing applications where response time directly impacts experience. For batch processing, background summarization, or offline analysis, latency is less critical.
Code generation & review
Based on overall model capabilities and architecture for coding tasks like generating functions, debugging, and refactoring
Customer support chatbot
Suitable for user-facing chat with competitive response times. Llama 4 Maverick also offers lower per-token costs for high-volume support
Long document analysis
Larger context window (1050K tokens) can process longer documents, contracts, and research papers in a single pass
Batch data extraction
Lower output pricing ($0.60/M) reduces costs when processing thousands of records daily
Creative writing & content
Higher overall composite score (92/100) correlates with better nuance, coherence, and style in long-form content
Image understanding & OCR
Supports vision input - can analyze screenshots, diagrams, photos, and scanned documents directly
