Key Points
- GPT-5.5 reportedly uses 'cavemanmaxxed' CoT with 67% fewer tokens per reasoning step.
- Reduced token consumption could cut API costs by 66%, from $0.03 to ~$0.01 per 1K tokens.
- Maintains 95% accuracy on complex logical tasks despite the compressed reasoning chain.
Why It Matters
Massive cost reduction in reasoning models could democratize advanced AI for startups and low-budget applications.
