GPT-5.5 is autistic genius, shocking we made such thing: Altman

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman called GPT-5.5 an "autistic genius intelligence", adding, "[It's] shocking that we would make such a thing." In another post, he said he is very optimistic about the future after seeing his Codex tasks complete automatically while he spent time with his child. OpenAI launched GPT-5.5 in April, which can write, debug code and analyse data.
